Thanks....I have visions of a Mitsubishi for the lanai and understand that it can/could also serve the garage.. Worth investigating.

If you leave golf clubs for an extended period of time most grips because of the summer heat will disintegrate.

My experience differs. Been here 4 years, golf clubs always in the garage, no grip damage at all. Golf Pride Tour Wraps.

My garage so small I’m lucky to my car and golf cart in it brings air handler, hot water tank, washer dryer, and 1/3 of kitchen wall taking up all space in 1 1/2 so called garage more like 1/2 garage…

For whatever reasons garages here are sure on the small side

All my tools that got stolen.

I regret trusting friends with my boxes of personal (important) items stored in their garage for 6 months. When I went to retrieve the boxes they mysterious disappeared! Horrible!

Nothing! We have a mini-split and our garage feels just like our home and lanai (mini-splits there too).

Ours is huge. Biggest garage we’ve ever had. We have a Suburu Forester and two golf carts (one is a 4 seater), 3 large storage cabinets + upright freezer on one wall, two large shelf units plus another storage unit on another wall, and my hubby’s workbench, a shelving unit, and a Nova filter + soft water system on the 3rd wall, and still have lots of room left over. Because we have a mini-split and epoxied floor, it feels like an extension of our home. Love it!

Reminds me of an old joke. Only in America where we have $10,000 in junk in a garage and a $10,000 car sitting outside. Was an old joke now $30K in the garage and a 30K car in the driveway

Forgot to mention the initil cost of the mini split. Most of the problems seem to be golf clubs, lithium batteries, luggage and pickle ball handles. Will take a long time to recover that cost. On bright side you can work in your garage during the hot months. My biggest gripe is that most homes in TV have tiny garages

We can only park a mid size SUV(Acura MDX) on one side of the garage(Too shallow) Understand 100% and our washer/dryer is not in the garage

My 1st home here the agent told me it had a stretch 2-car garage. I looked at her and said that is a STRETCH to call that a 2-car garage!

Lots of assertions that power tool batteries and golf grips were harmed by the heat in the garage. What about Li golf cart batteries?
