Common sizes for double garages

If you are planning to build a double carport, you will of course need to find out how much space you need to build your frame. I’ve done some research on common double carport sizes for those of you who need to store more than one vehicle.

To comfortably house two vehicles, you must first decide if you need a large building so that it can accommodate larger vehicles such as pickup trucks, vans, or even an RV, or if you need a smaller building. end of scale, to accommodate small cars or ATVs and motorcycles.

Let’s start with the standard size for a single carport: 10 x 20 or 12 x 24 feet are the two most common sizes for a single carport. The larger size is convenient if you have wide swing doors or tend to drive larger vehicles like pickup trucks or pickup trucks. Some people have said that the smallest size is actually too small – there’s very little extra front-to-back space, and it’s too narrow for cars with long doors.

Therefore, the standard size of a double carport is approximately twice the width of a single carport. 24×24 ‘makes a good size garage, although you could get away with a bit narrower as you probably won’t open both vehicle doors at the same time.

If you drive larger vehicles or plan to store even larger equipment, such as a boat and motorhome, a double-width carport will suit your purposes, but you will need to increase the size of your carport appropriately so that the vehicles can be accommodated. Store properly with enough clearance around each vehicle to make getting in and out of it convenient.

The height of your double garage will also depend on the type of vehicles you need to store. The typical garage height is 8 or 10 feet, although if you own trucks, vans, or RVs, you will probably want to go with a 12 foot ceiling (remember that is the interior height, your peak will be higher). If you are storing an RV, remember to add extra height for any ceiling appliances such as fans, satellite TV receivers, or air conditioning units.
