Choosing the right approach
Measure vehicles with doors open before planning garage cabinets or a new entrance arrangement. Divide storage into frequently used items, seasonal equipment and technical systems that need access. Flooring, lighting and ventilation should suit the way the garage is used. If charging is proposed, have the electrical requirements assessed separately and coordinate cable routes before finishes are completed.
What the specification should cover
- Vehicle clearance and access
- Storage zoning
- Floor finish and cleaning
- Lighting and ventilation
- Charging provisions assessment
Questions about garage renovation & storage
What should be measured before fitting garage cupboards?
Include vehicle doors, boot access, walking routes and servicing space around technical equipment. Measure the garage door operation too, so storage does not obstruct its mechanism or the intended parking position.
