Just wondering what members storage is like. From going from no sheds in the last house we now have 2 double garages which are double depth. The only problem is the acquiring of more toys, maybe time for a shed extension.

We currently have a single shed (single garage) for my "workshop" and some of my toys. Have a 3 bay machinery shed that is used to store hay. Have a big hay shed for horse shelter. The ultimate plan is to knock over the single garage and replace with a double with double carport. Then with the new house we are planning on building would have a double garage also. Then I might actually be able to get my tractors under cover.
So not sure what option applies??
-
4 car garage, plus carport on the side, fits most of my toys. I'd love some more height for a hoist though :)

How do get a thread locked, when it was started by a moderator?
I live in apartment, no shed, toys parked on the street.
-
My shed would cover all my toys but as we don't have a house, we live in the shed so I guess it covers all the other toys

When I built my 10.5 X 6, I was told it wouldn't be big enough.
Hmmm, they were right.
17 years later it's not.
Cruiser is living in the carport, the camper lives in the carport as does the horse float. >:D
What lives in the shed?
Fysh's car, the mower, the guinea pigs, the sons Drum Set, the push bikes(5 X), my Chippies trailer cause I don't have room to build shelves to empty it. Camping gear( because you've bought it and you wouldn't get you money back), compressor, Dart board, rudy calendars and a couple of peg boards that are chokers.
It's like the Tardis now.
I could do with another shed(Tardis) the same size and still fill it.
Is any ones shed Bigger enough >:D
Never.

beer fridge, camper, boat and camp chair. Cars parked in front ready to hook the toys up. Everything I need.
Mind you, only managed this after no.1 son moved out with his Ute, Chippy Trailer, Mav 4by and motorbike. He wanted me to build a bigger shed out back. I gave him some money to move out and rent his own;D

What height do I need to allow for the later fitment of said hoist ;D
Time to upgrade the slab thickness as well, might as well put in a pit as well

3.6m clear height for a 4T hoist. A smidge more for the 4.5T version.

Why would you want a pit if you have a hoist?

no need. If I ever need anything done that I don't have the tools or room for, I'll just head to Bill's place. Make sure I'm there early and help him sweep up at the end.
Either that, or yours;D

Sadly my shed is too small . l out grew it after 12 months its only 15 X 7.5 with a carport on the side . l recently had a flash of energy & chucked out 3m3 of stuff that had been carted around too long . The space that was created only lasted a short time :'( :cheers:

Slightly off topic I know, so please forgive me............
BUT----
Until I bought 2 sheds for down at our farm, I had no idea just how cheap they were.
We bought them from
http://www.bestsheds.com.au/#!double-garages/c1hot (http://www.bestsheds.com.au/#!double-garages/c1hot)
Now before you shoot me for a gratuitous plug...............
I have no affiliation etc. Just couldn't believe how cheap they are.
We are now going to buy an american barn from them for our new place.
Seriously you couldn't buy the material for the price they sell them.
They are also good quality which is surprising.
No excuse now ladies and gents............. Bigger sheds and more toys it is!!! ;D ;D ;D

15x8mts an extra mtr on the walls would of been good but can't complain. Living in it today for the day.

Only have a king size single garage, 8.5x4.
Fits the smaller car and a workbench but not much more...
-
beer fridge, camper, boat and camp chair.
I notice you say chair as in singular. Did something happen that we don't know about.

I've got a 3mX7m garden shed to house all the yard gear & a 4 bay with a workshop for the boat , camper & other stuff. My problem is, I don't have a decent work bench or any shelving... I had a massive clean up yesterday & ended up having to put my gear in isles on the floor. I can't wait to start getting some shelving

swmbo's chair packed away in her CT to keep it clean and dust free. Mine on standby and ready for when the fridge is opened.
When 'others' come round for a drink, we sit in the boat and pretend we're fishing, but actually drinking.

I think that it depends on ones interpretation of TOYS .
What one may consider a toy another my consider it rubbish/waste of money/waste of space, etc.
For me some of what I call toys are Overhead traveling gantry, Mig welders x 3 , Plasma cutting equipment, Oxy cutting equipment, Drill press x 2 , Car hoist ( two post ) thinking about setting up a 4 post beside the two post, Drop saw, Many electric and battery powered tools, Saw bench, Radial saw and quite a few racks/boxes of hand tools and much more. But to a mechanic or tradie these are tool of trade.
I have a 9mx3m storage shed, a mower/compressor/small engine shed and a small working shed (8.5m x 21m.) and there times when I feel that I should have a bigger shed.

I have a 3 door American barn style shed with 100sqm of floor space but had to put up a small 3mX3m shed to fit my mower in because the big shed was full!
-
Started with a 6x9 3 bay, added another 6x10.....still not enough, also got a 3x3 garden shed and about 10 car spots under the house......still not enough tho, so we are looking to move to a bigger acreage so I can have a proper shed :)
Moral here you always just keep filling them up!

Id be embarrassed to speak about my shed in public.
-
Shed, what's that?
Another reason why I am single but alas no shed until I retire and leave this godforsaken city. At the moment I have to make do with a single garage and that is taken up with storage for most of my stuff that won't fit into my unit. Slowly working on setting it up with a work area. Luckily my bro wanted to borrow my box trailer so deal was it stays at his house. More room in my garage.

I have more toys than sheds. ???

12x12 barn shed that houses the Kimberley and cruiser In The middle bay one outside bay houses the 6.2m bay sport boat and the other side is set up as workshop. The kids have a 6x6 m shed to keep all their crap in Plus mowing equipment. About to look at lining this shed and make a pool room out of it. Wifey has a whole double garage to house the Kluger.

Current house is on 666sqm and we have a double garage and a small 4.8mx9m shed. In those sheds we have 1939 Ford Mercury Hotrod, 1937 Chev, EK Holden sedan, 1923 Studebaker and a couple bikes. The poor vintage caravan has to live outside as do our modern cars. Then in storage we have a 1928 Studebaker and a 1936 Chev.
And to make is even worse last weekend we ordered a new CT... so the 1937 chev is going up for sale as we rarely drive it these days.
We've got a block of land (bit over an acre) for our new house so we wil be building several BIG sheds :)

If you lived in Blowin, sorry Bowen for any length of time you would learn that tarps have a short life around here. Had 3 weeks of 30 k winds, then 1 week of 20 to 30, has now settled to an nice calm 8 to 15 k.

Shed number 3 is almost approved. Will do some numbers this week and see what we can do. Luckily its a bit 8o a sloping site so the walls will be taller than the one beside it. Hoist may be able to fit ;D
