WHERE SHOULD I LOCATE MY COMPTON GARAGE?

Garages, concrete garages, compton garage FAQ
Ideally your Compton garage should have a clear space at least 18" wide on all sides, if possible. This ensures easy access for both installation and future maintenance. In reality this is often not practical and at many sites it is not needed. A reduced clearance is often possible on one or two sides. If the space around your garage is restricted remember to allow for any roof overhang. You should also cut back or remove any nearby shrubs and trees. Remember to allow for future growth.

Iceland Tourist Board
Icelandic electrical standards are European (50Hz, 240 volts) so many North American electrical devices will require converters and all will require plug adapters. Hotels usually keep one or two converter/ adapters on hand - but don't count on one being available. It's better to buy one in North America and bring it with you. They're usually found at US and Canadian electronic specialty stores and sell for around USD 25.
