Cart Shed Design
Does anyone have a cart shed design before I go and wing it? Trying to build a shed next to my garage for just the cart, and I could use some suggestions...

Re: Cart Shed Design
Do you want it attached or detached from the garage? A lean to design is the cheapest thing to build.

Re: Cart Shed Design
Yep... a lean to is not only cheaper, but easier to build!
Here's the one I built, 12' wide, X 10' deep (inside) for about $800 in materials, (had 2 carts at the time, and needed winter storage for both of them!) I leaned towards the back for a larger door opening, 7' high X 5' wide, (both lifted carts), I wish I would have made the door opening just a bit wider, it worked well for me, but my ex had difficulties with it! Click pics to enlarge: Golf Cart Storage 003.jpg Golf Cart Storage 005.jpg Golf Cart Storage 004.jpg Golf Cart Storage 007.jpg 002.JPG Note: I "over built" it because of the nasty storms and "iffy" trees in the area, and also wired it for lights and 110 outlets on all 4 walls, so... your material expenses should be quite a bit cheaper! |

Re: Cart Shed Design
Like Lockman said. Make sure the door(s) are wide enough. When you do that, assuming one large opening, make sure the header above that opening is strong enough to support everything above it. Make that calculation before you determine ceiling height.

Re: Cart Shed Design
A standard garage door is 8' wide by 7' tall (with a little less clearance as Scotty said). Narrower that standard means custom order panels ($$$). In hurricane country I would use this.

Re: Cart Shed Design
Trust me, we use both....
Went to my garage door guy and he said that a 8X7 foot door is a standard, and that should work. Now I need to build the structure to house it.... Looked at the roll down type and they were more expensive that the garage door type. My guy quoted me $499 installed, and I think that's a deal even for a manual one... is that a good price? |
