| Question: | "We are completing a nine-hole golf course and are anxious to obtain data relative to the essential features that should be embodied in a shed for the shelter of machines, tools, shed and fertilizer and for use as a work shop." |

| Answer/Response: | "We would suggest that your shed should be about 18 feet deep and of any width to meet your requirements. At one end of the shed should be an enclosed room with a work bench. This room can be used as a greenkeeper's office, also for the storage of chemicals, spare parts, and small tools. The room should be fitted with a lock as a guard against thefts. The shed should have a concrete floor, at least in part, so that fertilizers could be piled in the shed without danger of becoming damp. On such a floor compost could be piled and sifted also, or kept dry during wet weather; also soil or seed could be mixed on such a floor. The shed should be high enough so that wagons and implements could be backed or driven into it. The front of the shed, which runs lengthwise of the building, should be made up of large sliding doors, and several windows should be placed in the rear. The shed should contain bins lined with zinc for storage of smaller quantities of seed. Larger quantities of seed or fertilizer can be kept in bags. Racks for hand tools should be arranged in the shed." |
