We just built a farmstand – 12 x 16 with a 9 foot garage door on the16 foot side.  Now to put in tables/shelving.  Any advice on angle of slope?  Distance between vertical shelves?  Height of first table/shelf? If wood, the finish. Color (I am assuming white or cream).

 

I am thinking wood for the table/bottom shelf, and wire shelving for the upper shelfs.

 

Do I need FDA approved paint for the inside? 

 

We do need an awning outside (and shelves on the outside wall). We were told local RV place would have used cheap, but their stock was very low and without hardware.  DH would like a retractable awning.  I’d just as soon build a frame and put metal roofing on it.

 

Suggestions of entry steps or ramp?

 

Thank you.
