Without a doubt, probably 90% of the families in this country have the same problem: not enough room to properly store and organize odd-sized equipment and outdoor items. This family had items ranging from a car-top carrier, to the family's bikes, flower pots and soil, outdoor toys, patio furniture cushions, and yard tools. As you can see in the first picture of this series, getting to any of things was a complete hassle. The answer: a custom built storage building. The stipulation: it had to fit a 4 X 14 footprint, as it was built in the alley space between two houses. With a cement-fiber siding and treated lumber trim, it is built to last.
