Fig. 1 shows the plan of a shed for storing about tweuty cycles, Fig. 2 is a cross section, and Fig. 3 is a portion of the front. A simple arrangement for keeping the cycles in position by means of two inclined pieces of wood is shown at C (Fig. 2). An alternate arrangement for hanging the cycles on two hooks is also shown. To support the hooks, two pieces of wood about 3in. by 3in., going the whole length, must be fixed to the rafters, as shown at A and B (Fig. 2). These would require supporting by two pairs of uprights for the length of the shed, otherwise the weight of the cycles would soon make the roof sag. Wood Sin. by 3in. will be found most serviceable for the general framing, and 3/4-in. matchboardiug for the sides and ends. The roof may be boarded and felted, or covered with corrugated iron.
