How quick the space is taken over by bikes.

Moving to a bigger shop that is underconstruction as we speak. My biggest concern is how to properly do the interior layout for all the needed workspace, shelving, electrical, lighting, storage of the projects and finished ones. Doing a remodel of the workbench and workspace in the future is a worry as I'm sure I will forget a much needed item to make this the last ideal shop layout

I have no choice but, to move to a bigger than 8x15 shop. Granted the newly constructed 12x20 won't be that much larger but the recently erected
8x15 plastic shed had wall hanging storage limitations. Some small loft storage is to be done in this barn style shop.

Any ideas is greatly appreciated.

Here is start of the newest

How is the new shed working out for you? I would like to see pics! Specifically interior loft construction.
 
upper loft pics

This is the rearward section (6' deep) of the upper loft of the shop.
I'm sure everyone is tired of seeing all the pics but, you asked and I feel compeled to post again

The issue is getting the bikes to loft. Walking up the 45 degree angled ladder just isn't safe while carrying a bike.
I have to design a better safer way....some type of pulley lifting system.

The upper side loft decks is only 3' wide that runs the 20' length of the front and back walls. The premise here was for strage bins with bike parts, and these front and back loft decks, once filled with the bins will not allow walking the length of the loft.
The forward 4' deep loft (over the workbench (also 12' wide) is for storage boxes for shipping bikes and additional storage.
The windows were installed in the side walls is for additional natural daylight penetration.

jd, How about a chain hoist up in the loft? Pretty sure Harbor Freight has relatively affordable versions and you wouldn't need a really heavy duty one since they are just bikes. I'm sure the smallest one would be more than enough.
 
JD, what I would do up in that loft is get some kind of railing around that opening, I can see a nasty fall happening.
 
Agreed on railing.

How about master linking a bunch of beater chains together with sprockets/hub at top, lift cable and cradle, and crank with handle at the bottom? :)
