Building a bike storage shed

I posted this in r/cycling but didn't get any answers so trying here. I need better storage for our bikes (2 adults and 2 teens), and so I'm thinking about building a lean to shed on the side of the house. The available dimensions of the space are 36" D x 108" L x 108" H. https://imgur.com/a/lean-to-bike-shed-BlydwU2 I came across this blog post that pretty much fits the bill: https://prodigalpieces.com/diy-bike-garden-shed-tutorial/ I'm wondering what my options are to optimize for convenience instead of maximimum number of bikes. I'm in west coast of Canada and this looks like a good option: https://www.velocirax-ca.com/products/tilt-pivot-rack-4-bike-storage-rack This looks like it would also work for ebikes if I get one later. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on the above, and on adding in storage for additional items like helmets, tools, etc? I'm also unsure if I should build a base or leave as is, and handling ventilation and lighting. submitted by /u/spikej56 [link] [comments]
