Have you seen some of those classic cars that are the pride and joy of their owners? They are buffed and entered in car rallies especially for displaying their features, which in many cases modern cars no longer have. Modern cars are now so alike that you can hardly tell one from the next, unless you are familiar with their transformation process in detail. At any rate, the vintage car needs to have a space totally of its own, with perhaps one exception – sharing the space with the family car. If that’s the garage then nothing else can be kept there and no one else is permitted access to that area. So the answer is a garden shed large enough to keep the garden equipment and double as a storage shed or to have that stuff in the garage and have a utility shed that will house the valuable classic car. In either case the shed needs to have concrete slab flooring, be weatherproof and have doors that lock.
Richard kept his vintage car in the garage, unlike his friend Alex who had a utility shed for his. Richard’s family understood clearly that their Dad’s car needed to be safe-guarded because it was valuable and it was also an important part of their life. They contributed to the beautification and maintenance process. Also they were all a part of the parade as their car travelled in the rallies and was judged as a result of their efforts. Vanessa’s efforts were also focussed on the garden. So the garden shed held not only the wheelbarrow, lawnmower, empty pots, bags of fertiliser, but also was the perfect place for boxes of memorabilia that they needed to store. It was ventilated yet weatherproof and had windows and a skylight. The shelves were great for everyone’s bits and pieces like fishing gear and art supplies with a desk in the corner too. How else would a family consisting of two adolescents and parents who were hobbyists survive. I forgot to mention they stored their bikes in there too! How’s that?
What’s more, this ideal garden shed can be assembled for you or can be a DIY installation, and can be a colour to suit your yard and home.
