This looks great.....what about water leaking through the deck though??? I was just curious because that would determine what you stored under the deck. It looks amazing.
That's a great idea... looks perfect! I'm sure you have taken care of water proofing the deck.Amazing...
It looks really great and as though it has already been there all this while. I guess it really blends well and complement the rest of the house. Such a huge storage shed is bound to be able to accommodate so many things and that is what every household welcomes with open arms. It helps to keep the mess in and organizes your things well.
Storage solutions that maximise the existing space that you have an just turn that space into something useful are really inspiring for me. I mean I prefer self storage units because I need to move things out of the way of an aklready cluttered house. But if you have space and terrain like this then why not!
That's is such a wonderful way of creating storage out in the open! It's just so neat and you would never know that the area under there holds a mass of dirty and random items! Haha! It's a good thing this house was on a slope - if only it were that easy to create storage solutions in houses everywhere else!
