What are the dimensions of a garage? Of a 2-car garage, also?

Question

I like to design houses for a hobby and often can't find an appropriate space on the grounds because I do not know how much space to allot.
Thank you.

Answer 1

It should be 20 feet wide by 25 feet deep to allow enough room for 2 cars and a little space for storage.

Answer 2

Single garage allocated sixe was always set at 16ft by 8 ft. This is now considered inadequate as many family saloon cars are longer that 16 ft

It is there fore now recommended 18ft min length

I personally would like to see a single car allocation in house design at a min of 10 ft wide and 22 ft long. This would adequately accomodate being able to get out of the car and a little extra length to allow for items normally stored in home garages

Answer 3

Call your local (city/county) building department and ask them for the correct measurements. It looks to me like the answers here are all over the map). So start with the building department, take a look at some plans on line (houseplans.com) and use common sense: wide enought to fit comfortably and deep enough to provide for extra storage. Besides if your following todays building trends you will notice that yesterdays three car is today's two car garage... everybody's looking for more storage.

Answer 4

There are many plans and styles. Standard two car garage (sized for the vehicles only) is 20wx20length. 24x20 gives you more leeway for larger vehicles. One car 20x11. Building supplies often have concessions they back for prefab structures of varying styles. Would talk to your city building permits office regarding clearances and specs required. For measuring placement on property, we were required to be 5 1/2ft from property line or other buildings (if not attached), 10ft from utility easement.

Answer 5

I know the perfect solution if you are just starting with woodworking and also if you have already experience with it. I reccomend to give a look to this website ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info ) You can find a lot of woodworking plans and you will be able to manage the projects with a CAD/DWG software. It allows you to modify the projects and to alter the arragements. If you are a beginner this is the easiest way to start, it's the best approach to woodworking; and if you already have experience you will find a lot of ideas and inspirations to improve your abilities with woodwork. I'm sure that you will love it!

Answer 6

Think about the biggest car you are going to have add on half the width and half the length then allow two meters in length for work space, if this doesn,t float yer boat buy a prefabricated one.

This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Answer 8

single garage could be anywhere from 10 feet wide and 15 feet long (this is pretty much as small as you can get) up to 15 feet wide and 25 feet long.

double garage could be anywhere from 20 feet wide and 15 feet long to 25 feet wide and 30 feet long.

garage doors could be anywhere from 7 feet wide to 20 feet wide.
