The garage has room for the car, electric wheelchair, a motorcycle, a shop and recycling bins. Tires, etc, are stored in a special area under the ceiling. The light turns on automatically whenever anyone enters the garage (motion detector).

Users comments
Lotta does not use the workbench, which is at standing-height, but she can reach all the tools. She feels that the recycling bins are very practical. They can easily be lifted into the car.
