I'm sure you could knock summat up using pvc pipe and solvent weld glue but the idea is good.

Shallow takeaway container works for no cost.

FWIW, I store 5 motorcycles (2 with carbs) and 3 cars (1 with carbs) for up to 7 months. They sit in garages (in different locations) with the batteries disconnected (no trickle chargers). Before storage I put StaBil in each fuel tank per the StaBil directions and then run them for 10 miles or thereabouts. After the storage period I connect the battery and hit the starter (use choke as normal for carbed engines). They all start as if they had been running yesterday. I've been doing that for nearly 15 years now. I'm sure other brand fuel stabilizers work but StaBil is the only brand I have ever used.
Re my not using trickle/smart battery chargers: the vehicles are unattended during storage with no one living on the premises. Years ago I had a battery explode due to a charger malfunctioning so I don't trust chargers that are unmonitored for months. I've never had an instance of a disconnected/reconnected battery failing to spin the starter normally after the storage period.
