Parking Lot Layout Advice

Curious about the size and start up cost. I've considered doing this as well.

 

On the security thing. The proposed fence is not adequate. Probably need to consider going taller, 8 foot minimum. The other thing is to bury the bottom of the fabric 2 feet below grade. This prevents pulling or digging under.

Trailer over hang, typically around 10 feet from the rear most axle. Probably need at least 12 feet from stop blocks to fences.
What ever gates you plan, or other entry/access points, add 2 feet to the width. It will reduce the damage.
Fences are going to need very frequent maintenance. Don’t go cheap, start with the best, and it will payback your investment with lower long term maintenance.

 

I sleep in my own bed every night but where I live/operate is 45 minutes from all the services. Reckon some signage and relationship with a mobile auto electrician, tyre fitter, mechanic, and air con service would be a time saver that is a bit of a life saver.

From what I read on hear, some consideration for dog perhaps.

 

till you get a large car in there with a 54’ spread and a 315 wheelbase …

You really need 2 rows so you can just loop around and sight side in your spot

I would talk with local dumpster companies to just drop a 25 yard can by the entrance for trash so 2 trucks can back up to it to clean out, they make cans with built in Tupperware houses now too, real bathroom with a shower is a nice though but it will be trashed the first week

ideas are great but have you got by zoning yet? (Especially in CA)

 

8 foot of fabric is the minimum above grade, if you want to lower your property insurance, 12 is the magic number.
You would also get a better rating by putting the fabric at least 2 feet below grade. Don’t go cheap on the fabric, get the heavyweight stuff. Generally harder to cut. It will get cut or at least attempted. Also don’t use aluminum in any place on the fence. That’s just an invitation. Fix breaches quickly. It says people are watching.

generally, 12 feet from the stop blocks to the fence should be adequate. Of course a bit more would always be good. Today, 72 to 77 feet for the average road truck and trailer is pretty common. Sure some get over that, but it’s not a high percentage.
Instead of 90 degree spaces, look at and consider angled spaces. It could give you more spaces as well as potential longer spaces.

 

My aunt and uncle were born in California and my dad was like 4 or 5 when they moved there. California is the most beautiful state in the union. It may not have the best beaches, the highest mountains (except for Whitney), the best deserts, nor the best plains, but there is not a single state that has all of them and then some. When I lived there, politics were almost normal, yes on the left side, but still normal. In my 30 years of living there we had bothe republican and democrat governors and senators. Now it is so one sided that cheating is legislated into being. If half the people left and they got rid of the 55 mph speed limit, I might like to come back!
