Default My new way to fuel up

Since I bought the new house an getting a loboy 154 with it, I have been using both the 154 and the 147 to mow my 2 acres. It seems like every time I turn around I have to run and get 5 or 10 gallons of gas. A friend of mine has a 15 gallon fuel station in his trailer http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BJ2E7B6 and I decided it was time for me to get one. I searched and searched till i found a pretty decent deal on it. The placement was kind of an issue for me, at first I was going to hang it in my back 3 car garage (the barn) where all the mowers and atvs are. After thinking about it I decided I would rather hang it outside (because I am sure it will drip gas right after filling it, and I go out of my way to have the bar not smell of gas). If it is gonna hang outside, it needs to be out of the weather. I try to not cut any corners and make things as nice as reasonably possible, so I made a nice hanging enclosure that matches the barn. Any way here are the pics.

I wanted to keep the hose out of the sun as much as possible, and be able to let any gas that may drip out of the nozzle after filling up fall on the ground and not onto the shelf so I made another shelf below the main one to store the hose out of the sun.

I do not want to put doors in it if I can help it. I built it so that there are no horizontal ledges except for the main shelf. If birds become a problem then I will build doors.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
