Garage
Overall interior dimension: The dimension required by several cities in California is 10 by 20 feet (3 by 6 meters) per car, and this is the best minimum dimension for the average car. This will allow enough space for someone to open the doors and walk in front of and behind the car once it’s parked in the garage. Garage lengths of 24 feet (7.3 meters) allow cabinets or storage shelves to easily fit in front of parked cars. Hot-water heaters and mechanical systems are often placed in the garage. If this is done, it is best to create an alcove, as has been done here, or add more depth or width to the 20-foot minimum to accommodate that equipment. Space between cars: Leave at least 36 inches (.9 meter) between cars so that you can open their doors without hitting another car door. You can go slightly less on side walls, but be certain you can comfortably enter and exit your car. Common Vehicle Dimensions Vans and SUVs: Width: 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 meters) Length: 16 to 19 feet (4.9 to 5.8 meters) Height: 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters) Large and luxury cars: Width: 6 to 6½ feet (1.8 to 1.9 meters) Length: 16 to 18 feet (4.9 to 5.5 meters) Height: 4½ to 5 feet (1.4 to 1.5 meter...
Garage Doors Width: Single-car doors begin at 8 feet wide (2.4 meters). You can also get 9-foot-wide doors (2.7 meters), which will lessen the chance of scraping the fenders on the door frame. You will sometimes see doors narrower than this in country club developments, but those are usually for golf cart garages; they can be as narrow as 5 feet (1.5 meters). Doors made for two cars can be as little as 14 feet wide (4.3 meters), but are more commonly 15 or 16 feet wide (4.6 or 4.9 meters). Height: The standard garage door height is 7 feet (2.1 meters), but an 8-foot (2.4-meter) height is also available. You can get a custom height for an additional cost. You can also customize your door design for an additional cost.
