Double garages have always been very popular and over the years there are more and more providers offering a prefabricated garage made of various materials in addition to the classic brick garage. When choosing a double garage, it is particularly important to have the dimensions so that two vehicles can be parked without problems and still have enough freedom of movement. That's why you should know about it.

The double garage is a popular form of garage because it offers space for two vehicles or plenty of storage space for different activities. For example, you can set up a workshop or even a home theater if your living space is not worth it. Double garages are available in a variety of materials and especially the prefabricated garage is a popular option as it can even be built by the buyer as long as the foundation stands. Important before buying is the knowledge of the respective sizes that are available to you in the selection. These default values ​​allow you to easily check the space required for the garage beforehand.

Dimensions of a double garage

The required dimensions for double garages are in themselves the same as for single garages:

1. Width: the width describes the size of the garage when viewed from the front or rear. It is the most important measure of the double garage because it determines how wide the individual vehicles can be. The measurements are based on a frame that ranges from 5.05 meters to 7.95 meters, which is the standard for double garages. Only a few manufacturers offer larger widths. 5.05 meters is definitely the minimum for the double garages. The individual widths at a glance:

• 5.05 m
• 5.30 m
• 5.45 m
• 5, 55 m
• 5.80 m
• 5.85 m
• 6.05 m
• 6.25 m
• 6, 30 m
• 6, 55 m
• 6.80 m
• 6.95 m
• 7.05 m
• 7, 30 m
• 7.55 m
• 7, 80 m
• 7.95 m

2. Depth or length (depending on the manufacturer): the depth determines the dimensions of the garage in relation to the space from the gate to the back wall. This space is needed to park the vehicle and must fit precisely so you can close the gate while the vehicle is not nudging your nose. You should first of all calculate the depth based on your vehicle or the necessary storage space that you can imagine. For longer vehicles, you definitely need more depth and should consider this when planning. The individual values ​​at a glance:

• 5, 12 m
• 5.30 m
• 5, 50 m
• 5, 55 m
• 5, 70 m
• 5.80 m
• 5.95 m
• 6.05 m
• 6, 10 m
• 6, 30 m
• 6, 50 m
• 6, 55 m
• 6.80 m
• 6, 90 m
• 6.95 m
• 7.05 m
• 7, 30 m
• 7.55 m
• 7, 70 m
• 7, 80 m
• 7.95 m
• 8.05 m
• 8, 10 m
• 8.30 m
• 8, 50 m
• 8, 55 m
• 8, 80 m
• 8.84 m

The depth has the largest frame in all dimensions of a prefabricated garage and can be adjusted individually to the vehicle size. Values ​​from 8 meters are especially recommended for MPVs, station wagons and sports cars.

3. Altitude: the height is quite low for normal vehicles and on average two to three meters or slightly more is enough. This is also very suitable for all forms of leisure activities, workshops or hobby rooms, which you want to implement in the double garage. The following values ​​can be used together with the others:

• 2, 23m
• 2, 35m
• 2.45m
• 2.60m
• 2, 72m
• 3, 00m
• 3.20m

In the classic double garage you must take care not to park high vehicles in this because they just do not fit in the garage. For this, other types of garage offer much better. Nevertheless, these are sufficient for the majority of cars, bicycles, motorcycles or quads.

An important point that you must not forget in terms of dimensions is the difference between outside and inside dimensions. All the above values ​​describe the external dimensions of the parts of the prefabricated garage. The inner dimension, on the other hand, refers to the individual values ​​for the walls when they are plastered, painted and provided with electronic or sanitary pipes and pipes. Likewise, a possible isolation is included in this measure.

Tip: with the widths and depths of the prefabricated garage, the distances are always counted in steps of 25 or 40 centimeters. Each manufacturer can opt for one of the two variants, which makes the dimensions suitable for a variety of real estate sizes.

Special garages

In addition to the above-mentioned depths, widths and heights of the double garages, there are three special dimensions that are offered by some manufacturers and represent an even larger variant of the garage type. These occur in most cases only in exactly this form and are not combinable with each other or can be changed:

• Width 8.35 mx height 3.40 mx depth 9.24 m
• Width 8, 75 mx Height 3, 60 mx Depth 9, 24 m
• Width 9.15 mx Height 4.00 mx Depth 9.24 m

Also, the following types of garages must be mentioned here, all of which use special dimensions and represent a double garage in an expanded form:

1. Big box garages: This form of garage is offered by some providers and is slightly larger than the classic double garage. It roughly corresponds to the wide-area garages for single garages. As a prefabricated garage, it is available in a different number of dimensions:

• Width in meters: 5.05, 5.45, 5.85
• Height in meters: 2.45, 2.60, 2.72, 3.00, 3.20
• Depth in m: 5, 12, 5, 30, 5, 50, 6, 00, 7, 00, 8, 00, 8, 90

Intermediate values ​​are also possible with the big box garages, however strongly dependent on the offer of the manufacturer. However, these dimensions are also within the scope of the standards.

2nd duplex garage: a duplex garage means a double garage in which cars can be stacked on top of each other. Duplex garages are in the dimensions as double garages and can accommodate up to four cars. The dimensions for the garage are as follows:

• Width in m: from 2.30
• Height in m: from 2, 90
• Depth in m: 5.20 to 6.00

You must obtain the special dimensions from the manufacturer when choosing a double duplex garage, but the above values ​​are the typical minimum garage size. Without this height and width, no two vehicles would fit into the garage, as a special technique is used to stack the vehicles on top of each other.

3. Long car park: At first glance, a long car park looks like a single garage, but is actually a double garage, which, however, is particularly long in depth. For this reason, depth is one of the most important values ​​of all. They are particularly suitable for land that is quite small but long. Typical dimensions are:

• Width in m: 2.50 to 3.00
• Height in meters: 2.10 to 2.40
• Depth in m: 8.00 to 10.00

In these garages fit perfectly two vehicles, even if you have to park them behind each other. Likewise, the storage space in the rear of the garage is well suited for numerous leisure activities or workshops.

4. Special garages that work for motorhomes, SUVs and minibuses: these double garages must be higher than the other garages, especially if they are motorhomes and minibuses. The dimensions in detail:

• Width in m: 2.50 to 4.00
• Height in m: 2.50 to 4.00
• Depth in m: 5.10 to 9.00

They usually look like a cube from the front, although they can be different in depth. The longer depth is also necessary because the vehicle types are usually longer. If you only use such vehicles, such a special garage is particularly suitable. As a result, you do not have to worry about whether they really fit in the garage.

With these special double garage types, you have different options in relation to your vehicles or projects available. Consider the dimensions necessarily as a frame, as each manufacturer can offer different dimensions. Typically, however, as with the dimensions for the conventional double garages steps of 25 or 40 centimeters. Here is a recommendation definitely recommended.

passage

The clearance height and width is an important value that you should not forget when calculating the dimensions, otherwise you may have problems with parking. Typically, the following values ​​must be taken into account:

• Headroom: about 30 cm are subtracted from the height
• Passage width: about 50 cm are subtracted from the width

If you now have a garage measuring 6.25 x 2.60 x 5.95 meters, subtract 30 inches from the width and from the height. They then come to a value of 5.75 x 2.30 x 5.95 meters for your garage.
