not to scalePlanning 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 minimum door-opening side zone
- 42 in working path from bench to front bay
- Tires stay out of the vehicle approach
Storage + workspace decisions
