[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 239851, member: 810"] My garage floor has the raised cement (3-4") where the walls are. No moisture coming from under the walls :). If you don't have raised cement consider metal (alum sheet roll) buried in the ground and part way up the wall on the outside of the wall and before the siding. Did that with my garden shed; no moisture along the walls. :) Consider ceiling storage as i did. Before I insulated the attic of the garage, I dropped threaded rods (3/8" X 36") from the front wall and both side walls from the 9 foot ceiling. I dropped the threaded rods 40" from the front wall and 18" and 24" from the side walls. Someone 6'6" can walk under these, vehicle doors clear them of course. Depth of above ground storage at front of garage is 40". Depth at sidewalls is 18" and 24". Threaded rods allow you to adjust height of shelves up or down if/when needed. Cleats along wall where desired height of shelves are needed. [COLOR=#3E3E3E] From the bottom of the threaded rods hangs a 2X4 level and parallel with the cleat on the wall.[/COLOR] From those two parallel 2X4's hangs the shelves. IF you want to enclose these above ground storage areas, I put a cleat (2X4) at the top of the ceiling where the threaded rods come through the ceiling. Cut two rabbits parallel to the 2X4s on the top cleat and bottom cleat of the front of the storage units to be able to slide paneling into those rabbits that act like doors. The paneling doors then slide back and forth on the rabbits as you need to get to your stored items. With the 9 foot ceiling I only need a 3 or 4 step ladder to access everything. Most of the off season stuff gets tucked up there. Works great for up off the floor storage. This gave me an additional 106 square feet/238 cubic feet of storage space UP OFF THE GROUND in my 3 stall garage (32X24). A huge advantage with ceiling storage in the third stall in my situation when i had a boat was when i was able to access all the boat/fishing gear from that storage area while standing in the boat. Additionally I hung pvc pipe right above the boat to hold rods/reels not stored in the boat. [/QUOTE]
