Default help me design new drive/garden!!

Ive just moved to a new house and the space for working on cars aint as good as my old place.

see...


the fence is a 6ft high one and is securing the house... only problem is can't see my cars etc... and working on them means im almost working in the street. also because of the fence at an angle it makes it hard to squeeze the other car on....

now.. ideas.. the dotted line of garden I could give up and so have a car by the side of the garage - any ideas how I could lay out the fences or add gates etc to make proper use of the space i've got?

I can't have gates or fence really going up the boundary on the road though

any good ideas?

where the fence divides your garden and the road, extend it with a 2 gates opening out the way, taking away any fence you have hiding your cars, you'll see the cars and they will be secure and out of sight, AND you'll have more space

Could have the gates opening in and out, and can keep them open if you like or close them if you feel they'd be better closed, pain in the ass but would give you lots of space.
