Determining Bay Dimensions
Measure boat trailers, RVs, and loader heights before framing. Standard passenger cars need 8-foot doors, while ocean vessels require 14-foot or 16-foot clearance bays.
In-Floor Radiant Heating Slab
An in-floor heating slab provides dust-free heat, keeping tools dry and floors warm underfoot. Layout PEX piping loops before pouring reinforced concrete.
Electrical & Workbench Layouts
Plan for 220-volt circuits to run welders, heaters, and air compressors. Installing plugs along bench zones prevents dangerous extension cords.
