What Is the Size of a Two Car Garage?
Garages can be built in a number of sizes and layouts. The most common variety is the two-car garage, although three-car garages are become the norm in newer high end homes. • Two-Car Garage • The average two-car garage is 20 by 20 feet for a total square footage of 400 square feet. This size is the most commonly used definition of a two-car garage by city and county requirements. A garage this size will use a 16-foot door. While fairly common, this size is considered the minimum and is fairly small. • High End Homes • Designers of more high end homes typically use a larger garage when building new homes. These house often have a garage that is 26 feet wide and 24 feet deep. These garages will often use two 8- or 9-foot doors instead one larger one, but one large door is not uncommon. • Three-Car Garages • A three-car garage offers not only an extra parking space but often extra storage for lawn mowers and other equipment. The typically range of a three-car garage is 32 to 36 feet wide
