Well, it looks like you can park 3 across and maybe 4 deep? That's the size of my 'long term' storage area. Then there's the spares Land Rover parked in an orchard, the 2 lockups by my brothers, the 3 spaces in the 'local barn' and the garage and 2 parking spaces (counting the road!) at the house.

Several years ago I was with a friend picking up an H van he'd bought in Holland. It came with a van load of spares that were kept in the corner of a building at least 5 times the size of this one. My mate started the following conversation:

"Wouldn't you love a building this size?"
"Not big enough!"
"Come on Mike, you'd never fill a building this size!"
"Give me a building like this and 6 months and just watch me!"

You could rent out storage......

Hmmm - there's a black GT needs a home!

Before you fill it it might pay to look at industrial shelving or a mezzanine floor. Rental should not increase just because your being more efficient with the volume. Does depend if there is access to a forklift but a Mezzinnine is well useful for panels, trim and shelved smalls leaving the lower area for cars and lumpy bits. Blimey you get four floors of cars in there!

Matt, I could use a home for the estate for a bit, if you have space i will happily pay you rent and repair work.

The Bear's idea of a mezzanine is a good one, even if it's just for spares. You may even have a handy roof bean for a winch or similar - I have a roof joist directly above the loft door at home that I've attached a pulley block to, enabling me to haul bicycles straight up the stairwell into the roof.

You can get RSJ creepers on which to mount a pulley block and tackle. Much as hydraulic lifts are good, the old chain block on an RSJ still wins for me. You can create a four point lifting pallet for them but a forklift is clearly a lot easier.

Another handy thing I have seen in tall sheds is a high mounted tyre/wheel rack. Gets them out of the way and out of sunlight.
