How are you guys storing these cars? Stackers? Storage units? Outdoors? Or just big garages?

I have a 6 car garage. it is three across like any three car, but it is 48 feet deep.

I have been thinking of stackers, I do have a 10 foot height, but I want to find a "thin" stacker so I could put three across the back.

I added onto my detached shop this Fall so I could have more room for storage and restoration. It has an upstairs for parts storage that's 12'Wx30'Lx8'H. Just finished the brick work a week ago. Gotta have space for the toys!!
