    Dilli since you have a limited horizontal footprint you need to have some 12-24" wide shelves up high just above head height. Hang them off the ceiling joists or wall or both. What ever is easiest. Leaves floor area clear for portable stuff. Hell shelves between rafter spans would be limited but super simple as long as you have a stepladder to access occasionally. Even 13mm wide thin sheet metal pipe hangers straps hanging down from the rafters at every rafter will hold a piece of USB plywood securely when tucked under the bottom edge of the wood. I put in 44 feet by 32 inch wide of this kind of shelf in my new garage. I wish I could post a pic, but my new phone or account isn't sorted enough yet. PM me I will give you my phone number if somebody else don't chime in. Pretty sure I can text you a pic.

    :sob:This is gonna take me all week now that I started it :(
    Got stuff in the garden shed that needs to be put in here :confused:
    Making progress but it’s painfully slow :(
    It’s floor space that I want as eventually I intend to get another trailer and CERBERUS is a big bike :confused:
    Managed to scrounge some wood from a neighbour so have been able to get some stuff lifted up out of the way :)
    Could do with more materials to make brackets and shelves etc but of course everywhere is closed and I’m observing the lock down :(

    Pastic !! I think @dilligaf is after something more substantial than that James, high up on the wall supported off the floor alltogether on metal brackets, leaving floor area completely clear.
    That and may I suggest a bigger hut aswell :D:D
