Default Linear Loaded Antennas ??

Hi..

I wish to build shorty dipoles for 20 and 80 meters and have considered coil
loaded but dismissed them as too narrow band so i`m considering linear
loading
for b/width and space ...(my garden is 14ft x 35ft )...

I find my homebrew magloops r/x very well but don`t t/x too good!!! hence
the need for a larger directional ant on the rotator without encroaching on
neighbours space ....(too much) .... ;o)

I have googled, but there isn`t much info available and what there is, is a
little
too technical for me to take in.. /

Is anyone familiar with the merits (or otherwise) + information and s/ware
for
designing and building said antennae ?? all help and pointers welcome.

Thanks..
