Dec 30, 2020 12:03 am

My garage is very similar to yours and i have two hatchbacks. It’s enough space for us and we use up 3mx0.60m for mower n other stuff, sometimes it feels a bit tight depending on how we parked that day so you will definitely struggle to fit 2 landcruisers AND have shelving across a side wall, back w...

From memory, fowler homes allow for custom builds e.g. bring your own. They’re also pretty flexible with their own plans and let you customise to suit your needs.
