I stored three Yaesu FT1000MP Mark-V's along with other electronics plus
computers inside my Aruba home and the A/C was not on. There were no heat
or humidity related failures. I see no reason that Elecraft radios and
amps would not work after being stored this way. The proposed shed may be
even hotter, I would recommend venting and insulating at least the roof.
As far as running equipment in a shed, it probably would not like the
extreme temperatures. Perhaps a small heater and A/C can be remotely
turned on.

My shop is about 300 ft from our house. In a corner of my 25' x 50'
building {not a garage}, I have enclosed a 12' x 15' area, where I
insulated the walls and ceiling. This is my radio room which has my
test bench and equipment from a former service repair business. $$$$
investment. Due to the investment in the equipment and radios, I
maintain a constant environment year around. Heating, cooling and
humidity control.
Most electronics components have a "storage" environment set of values
and an "operating" set of values. These are usually values of
temperature and humidity, and in some cases altitude.
Just do what and as you think regarding the value for your equipment and
hobby. Personally, I certainly would not expose my Elecraft equipment
to long term uncontrolled environment conditions without expecting to
have problems.
