Planning inspiration only. This example is not an architectural, safety, utility, or permit drawing. Confirm actual clearances, utilities, and local requirements before building.

Key zones / clearances

  • 36 in walk lane at passenger side
  • 30 in clear zone at storage wall
  • Keep door swing and outlet access open

Storage + workspace decisions

  • — Fold-down bench protects the single-car bay when not in use.
  • — Overhead bins handle seasonal items without taking floor area.
  • — Shallow shelving stays outside the drive and door-swing zone.
