Safe affordable storage for your motorcycle or ATV's
It´s easy and actually cheap to use a storage shed for your motorcycle or ATV. Since you can customize any structure from Pine Creek/Belles Springs, we´ll help walk you through the process of starting with our basic design like a
Dutch Barn or Front Entry Peak and advise you on the choices you have to customize so it does what you want it to.
Some Free Advice on Motorcycle/ATV Storage: "When I´m helping customers out, I always start with the most important question-how will you be using this? And with a motorcycle storage unit, I ask if they want to use it for 1) regular storage 2) storage with a work shop or 3) a show room. I was blown away when the Amish guys at the plant actually came up with turn table for our specialty storage shed- The Hawg Barn."
Consider designing your storage structure with a garage door and possibly a standard house door leading into a workshop section. "This way, you can easily get the bike in out and have some storage and workspace on the other side." suggests JR. Other things to consider: overhead lights, and our one of a kind- rhino coated flooring that contains rubber for easy clean up of spills and is water resistant.
An On Site Office if you don't have room inside the house
No room in the house? Want a "Home Office" for around $2,000? A storage structure can be easily customized to become a place where work is enjoyable.
Some Free Storage Advice:
- You'll probably be using your Home Office year round so make sure to customize it with an insulated floor with a 3/4 inch smooth surface. This way, it will be easy to carpet or cover the floor how you want.
- Do you need a view? Start with a structure like a hip roof storage shed and design it with extra windows- maybe even sky lights to avoid that cubicle feeling. Think about finishing off the interior with our T-111 siding or maybe dry walling it.
- You can make it feel just like your home by opting for standard house doors, an electrical package.
- Interior Designer Will Hapeman-known as the Decorating Coach- adds, "Think about the works space- since these Amish craftsmen can create any kind of work space/table- you can select a height that works for you. I recommend sitting in a chair, and measuring 4-5 inches above your lap to get a good measurement. Once you have the basic square footage…move onto a layout that they can design for you that factors in how many work stations, supply cabinets and shelving".
- Make sure to upgrade to the insulated windows. We don't push this all the time- in fact for standard storage like the Christmas decorations you don't need to worry about how cold the structure will get. But if you want to work when its 45 degrees out, the insulated house windows will keep the chill out.
- And you can customize your On Property Office for really cold weather by adding one of our self contained heating/air conditioning units.
A Children's Play House that you can use after the kids are gone
We have some pretty unique-won't be found in your neighborhood -designs but hopefully you'll soon read that you should consider your storage structure for double duty- a play house with a dividing wall to store something like pool furniture.
Some Free Storage Advice on Playhouses:
- Make sure there is plenty of ventilation, If it's too hot in there the kids won't play in it and they'll be back inside telling you their bored. By adding end vents and ridge vents, you'll ensure the little ones will roast.
- Windows of course are a smart choice.
- Since they won't be young forever, think about putting at least one "grown up" door on it so you can your storage shed after the kids have moved on.
Our structures are going to last a long time, so make sure you get the most out of it. Thinking ahead and how you will use this playhouse in the future will also influence what color choices and roof colors you select.
