OK, couple suggestions.

First - heat - head down to Bunnings or Mitre 10 where for around $50-$60 you can buy a 'Whirly Bird' roof ventilator. Will not only keep the shed cooler but will promote air flow which will assist with drying & combat damp/moisture. Any reasonable handy man should ne able to fit one with very little trouble.

Next. Get hold of a couple of broom sticks. Cut shallow grooves in em & hang em horizontally from the roof.
You can then store rods on these as well as on yer walls. Adds a lot of extra storage area.

Bill.

Don't know if I can be bothered removing the Reel's... The place where I plan to put this little shed will be shaded so that should help.

The Whirly Bird, awesome, now I gotta spend more money. Thats gonna make the Wife happy. Thanks for that Bill... Great idea and yes they are easy to install, I have 2 of them on my house, I think they help. The broom handles are great idea. Thanks
