Storage buildings (figure A) are enormously popular these days because everybody has so much to store. "Ironically, though, storage buildings have a tendency to fill up in a hurry," says James. Never fear, he has a few ideas for squirreling away your unattractive odds and ends. "Off to one side of my barn," says James, "I built this simple cedar fence (figure B), and behind the fence, I hide things like hay bales, trash cans and garden tools." This setup keeps James' mess out of sight while still making these necessary objects easy to reach.
This wood pile serves as another screening device (figure C). Built only a few feet from the fence, this storage area gives James plenty of room to store big items like wheelbarrows and garden carts (figure D). "By the way, this is exactly the way you want to store stuff that has a tendency to collect rainwater. Otherwise, you might end up creating the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes."
