What Length Should a Garage Be

In short, the minimum dimensions for a 2 car garage should be 20’x20′ and to make extra space to get in and out of the car, it is recommended to go with 24’x24′ or larger. If you want to keep your vehicle looking nice and want extra space for other things, a bit wider and deeper will go a long way.

What is a standard size garage?

Typically, two car garages are 18 feet wide by 20 feet deep. This is just enough to fit two cars in your garage. There are several other common sizes including 20 x 20, 22 x 22 and 20 x 22. Some of these sizes make it far more comfortable to open the doors of your car.

How tall should my garage be?

Not counting the attic, bonus room, or apartment above garages, the typical height for a garage comes in at 7 feet at a minimum and usually 8 feet. Those with vaulted ceilings still come in at the 7 to 8 feet range before the pitch of the roof starts turning inward.
