Not only does this plan provide storage space for your equipment or inventory, it offers room to pull up a desk and create an office to go with it. But even if you only need to store your family vehicles, look at the space this garage plan provides for the family cars plus items like a golf cart, RV, four-wheeler, bicycles, scooters, etc. Have a look at campingfunzone.com to learn more about rvs.

Some electric scooters even get 100+ mpg which is great when compared to a car. If you buy a used scooter, you’ll spend even less and since scooters tend to not be used much, it would be nearly like getting a new one! After doing the research and reading through all the Allstate insurance reviews,  scooter insurance is cheaper than motorcycle or car insurance.

Buying a scooter for sale from a private owner can be quite tricky, there are many things to look out for. Whether you’re looking for a gently used scooter for sale from a yard sale, Go2Scooter or online auction site, Amazon can be a great place to begin. They have a wide range of makes and models of scooters available, complete with specifications and photographs. You can usually tell a lot by just the first couple of details, such as the price and where it’s been kept (a garage sale perhaps?). However, it can still be difficult to find that perfect scooter to suit your needs, and that special deal you saw online, but here are some tips to help you.

The workshop space can be used for maintaining your fleet and DIY projects, or create an exercise room, hobby and craft room or potting shed.

Tandem garage plans are detached garages designed to save space and accommodate long and lean strips of property or narrow lots. They make the most or the available space by providing auto storage with extra deep bays. The extra deep bays allow room to park two or more cars one behind the other. Most tandem garage plans published by The Garage Plan Shop are at least 38’ deep and can range in size from a single tandem bay to two or more tandem bays positioned side-by-side. Other tandem garage plans might offer one or two tandem bays attached to one or two single-car bays.
