Hi Rick
I posted on the youtube page, and you replied.

I observe via your videos that the amount of workshop space you have is quite restricted.
My suggestion of the 'container' was made to suggest somewhere more weatherproof to store your vehicles currently not being worked on..or currently OK, so that you could gain more space within your existing workshop? A bit more elbow room?
Containers can be disguised as well....trelliswork, plants, paint, etc..
But, most importantly, their interiors are dry.
Rather than suggesting an option to not thinning out the wheeled population?

It appears you cannot do very much about creating more natural weather protection for your car ports and lean-to's....One line of conifers are not going to hack it in a strong gale.
