Standard Garage Size report

With the improvement of living standards, more and more families now own cars. But now, parking is a big problem in many cities, and most people choose to build their garage when conditions permit, which saves the cost of parking spaces and makes it more convenient. But when building a garage, you need to consider the standard size of the garage and the size of the garage door.

You already know that in recent decades, both the size of houses and the number of vehicles have increased. So garages have followed this trend, and the average American garage is now larger than ever before. Most homes build large garages to park two or three cars, rather than just one place as before.

So, you can expect the garage door to be bigger as well. Whatever your reason for replacing a new garage door, be prepared to choose from many models on the market. You can also order custom doors if the standard sizes don't meet your needs. The following post will explain various standard garage sizes to help you determine the correct size you need.

Standard Garage Size Guide

The construction of a garage is a once-and-for-all thing, and it is also one of the key points of home decoration. Therefore, you must fully understand and prepare before decoration. You must know the standard size of the garage and the size of the door in advance to avoid trouble later.

Building a garage is not as easy as you might think. One of the biggest mistakes is in underestimating the amount of space needed. A garage is more than a simple shell. It should have inner space to move, work, and store around the sides. This guide will give you a handy understanding of standard garage size requirements for vehicles.

1-Car Garage Dimensions

A one-car garage is large enough to fit a single car, possibly with a bit of extra room for a tool chest or some garage shelves. The standard width is between 12 feet and 16 feet, with a standard depth of between 20 feet and 24 feet. It leaves enough room for a garage door between 8 feet and 10 feet wide and between 7 feet and 8 feet tall.

2-Car Garage Dimensions

Most families built two-car garages. They are a little less than double the width of a single-car garage, between 18 feet and 20 feet wide. The depth stays at 20 to 24 feet. You can have two independent, single garage doors between 8 to 10 feet wide. Or, you can have a single, double-wide door that is 12 feet to 16 feet wide. Both options are the typical 7 to 8 feet tall.

3-Car Garage Dimensions

More cars mean a wider garage. On average, the standard three-car garage ranges between 26 feet and 28 feet wide, and the depth remains between 20 feet and 24 feet. You can use a combination of single and double-wide garage doors ranging from 8 feet to 16 feet wide.

4-Car Garage Dimensions

This size is rare. Four-car garages are usually between 34 feet and 36 feet wide and between 20 feet and 24 feet deep. Their doors should be 8 to 16 feet wide and come in various single-wide and double-wide options.

Getting the perfect sized garage is essential for your home. As a general rule, it is important to leave about 2-1/2 feet from the car to the nearest object, whether that be another car or the garage wall, so that the car doors can open and you can exit the vehicle.
