Parking on slope

[Babar2437]

Hi everyone, I own a Honda city 2015 manual transmission. I live at a place where my garage is at an incline, approximately 15 degrees. I was worried that, if I keep parking on the 15 degree slope for a longer time then it may harm my car, I.e transmission or hand brake etc. I'll be grateful for some expert opinion.
Regards.

Nothing is going to be wrong with this..parking brake is safe for it as well as keeping in 1 or R gear..you can keep a block beneath rear wheel after parking your car

This is the slope. Front wheels are in level and rear are on slope. So nothing goes wrong with suspension, brakes and transmission etc ?

Park in 1st gear. Let the clutch go first before pulling the handbrake. Go to bed.

Thanks bro. Normal sequence which I follow is,
While parking:
Press brake pedal
Gear neutral
Engine off
Release clutch
Hand brake on
Release brake pedal

While driving it out:
Press brake pedal
Press clutch
Gear neutral
Engine on
Put in gear
Release hand brake

Can you please tell if something wrong with this sequence ? What's the reason to release clutch before putting hand brake on ?

Gear neutral? Put it in 1st gear, turn off the car and release clutch. Then put on the handbrake so the car stands in the gear and uses the handbrake as a backup.

Putting in gear is fine if I have to park one odd time. But parking every day in gear will put load on it. I park on hand brake and put two bricks behind rear tires.

park the car
put handbrake
get outside and place bricks behind front tyres
get inside the car, release handbrake and wait for the bricks to take the load
put handbrake
put it in gear
go to bed

This way you can take the load off the brakes as well as gear. But if for some reason, car starts to move both brakes and gear will be there to stop it.
