Not just me with a minor space issue then. Admittedly 11 bikes (and
thats just the ones that roll) and enough parts to stock a dealers is
kind of my own fault.

I am having to put a mezzanine floor into my shed so I can store parts
above the bikes.

Well "mezzanine floor" makes it sound fancy, it will be 4 fence posts,
2 in the corners and 2 say 5ft from the corners with bearers and
bracing etc put in with chipboard loft flooring on the top.

My problem is all my bikes have come along mostly all at once and I
have had spare cash to buy them of the 11 only 5 actually work and the
rest are for restoring.

If I were to do that, I just know that some time in the middle of the
night an onimous CRACK! sound would be followed by the sound of
several hundredweight of tools and junk falling onto the bikes
below....

I've partially boarded the roof space in the garage. Nothing has fallen
down..... yet.

The plan is to use it for wheels and petrol tanks etc nothing seriously
heavy. The garage roof is semi boarded and the frames are kept up
there. Engines and heavy bits are on warehouse racking in shed 1. The
mezzanine is to go into shed 2 above bikes that are "for restoration".
