Saw a picture of an Expanda in the front yard in another thread and thought it might be interesting to see (pictures) of where folks park their vans. To start here is mine waiting for the shed to go up around it...
The parking lot.
- Thread starter brookes2622
- Start date
brookes - nice to see the priorities are right. 
Just need to make sure the doors are big enough so you can get it out when they have finished
I have slowly inched our Panda back into it's holding pen this afternoon. Just needed to make sure the air conditioner and rafters did not end in a deadly embrace!
Made it in with 75mm to spare.
Still undecided whether to put a cover over the van, put 90% shade cloth on the open side of the shed, or just put Colourbond steel sides on and eventually some form of door/s. :noidea:
Cheers,
Ro

Thanks to all but I'll believe it when I have it ... been 3 years in the making given all the wrangling with the council.
I vote for the cover, I got a cover when I bought mine and probably won't need to use it but you'll have birds and they'll love those rafters. In my other shed :whistle: the swallows are real quick at throwing up a nest and pooping on everything. I also get mudwasps so this shed will get a good going over several times. The new shed will, at it highest point have roof height of 3.6 metres and a door to match so I should be OK same with width.
Oh I forgot that shed will be 10.5 x 10.5 with a little bit of extra concrete along 1 side and out the front and with the van, tractor and workshop I think I need to start considering extensions....
Mine lives in this..
It fits through the middle door with the roof up (just!!) and if need be I can open both ends up too.
Shed is 10.5m wide x 9m deep.
I have my boat in the left door and currently the right door I use as a workshop type arrangement.

Our pandas palace (18m x 9m x 3m).
It's bigger than my house.
All for hubbys toys.
Matty4,
I now have a very bad case of shed and driveway envy!
Nice setup.

ready for the new base
after a week of in-decision, finally decided to go with a road gravel base and get a professional to do it....would love to try and do myself but time and patience is something i am seriously lacking in my life at the moment !

and here is what I assume is the other end of the spectrum
I went to great lengths measuring the width of my drive, calculating the hight, including the gradient it would come up the drive on etc.... a beautiful fit.....
not too sure if this has worked or not...
