This design is ideal if you need to store a wide selection of products at high and low.

Hip Roof
Four-sided roof. This is a change in slope of the roof. However, besides the roof is in two parts, a roof consists of four sections, each wall, the last remains of a section of roof.

This allows the probe over the things that are higher because the volume is included with a roof of a warehouse roof slope is less than a shed with a mansard roof.

FLOORPLANS
The configuration of the planting area will help determine the type of design you want, perhaps. Plan for the shed is square, but there is no reason why you should not change this, for example, if you combine work with a space.
