The new property obviously included a shed (and some sort of brick structure that the missus spends a lot of time in!). After sprucing up the interior of the brick structure, I felt that the shed had been neglected, so I decided to get a hoist....

Even though the Cobra lifts to a reasonable height (during the assembly phase at least) I really need to raise the roof of the shed to lift normal cars to a decent height. I'll have to get onto this in the near future....

You've got one of those steel sheds without triangular roof trusses. How about putting a dummy dutch gable bit in with a couple of windows to make it look like an attic...make the neighbours think you're taking in boarders or putting granny up there !
