Our house has no garage. It does have a long driveway along the side that extends into the back yard. Shortly after moving in, I built this combo garden shed / boat cover.
The new boat will be 4-1/2 feet longer than the row-boat, and 14 inches wider. Plus the eventually new boat trailer will be wider also.
The solution will be to move the garden shed portion 4 feet to the left, and to rebuild the boat cover portion to be both longer and to have its posts positioned wider. There is currently 3'-3" of concrete to the left of the garden shed (where a wood pile is located). I will add a short extension of concrete to accommodate the move, and as long as I'm pouring concrete I'm going to fill in the corner between the boat cover and the flower bed. That little area of lawn has always been annoying to mow and with the wider boat we'll need that area as side walk to go to and from the porch door to the garden shed.
I know I won't need new boat storage for a couple of years, but knowing of an obstacle for which you have no solution would make the whole project a waste of time.
