Everything You Need to Know About Standard Garage Sizes: Dimensions and Expert Tips

Standard Garage Sizes

Unfortunately, there’s not always a one-size-fits-all solution with metal garages. Some folks may need a small single-car structure to keep the family ride safe, while others require a larger, wider structure for multiple cars and trucks.
But if you have a keen understanding of your budget, your needs, and your options, you can get the right metal garage for the job. We can help with that. Below, we’ll cover everything you need to know about standard-sized metal garages and give you information to help you make a wise buying decision.

One-Car Garage Sizes

A one-car garage is a cost-effective option for those with a single vehicle or limited space. These garages range between $11 and $20 per square foot for a base structure, and offer just enough room to park your car comfortably while leaving space for some additional storage.

Standard Garage Door Sizes

The garage door size is just as important as the garage itself. If you want to do it right, you need a door that allows you to access your things, maneuver equipment, and keep your items secure. In most cases, standard roll-up garage doors are 8′ wide and range in height from 6′-12′, and even as high as 16’ for specialized uses like RV storage or agriculture.

But if you have different ideas for your metal garage, or need larger, wider, or taller options, you can include frame-outs for custom-sized doors in your building design.

How to Find the Right Garage Size for You

What’s the best garage size for your needs? It sounds like a simple question without a simple answer. But if you know what to keep in mind when choosing, you can get the ideal structure for the job at hand. These are the key things to consider when picking the right metal garage size:

• Number of Vehicles

How many cars will you be storing, and what types are they? Some vehicles will be larger than others, so you’ll want to have a keen understanding of what you’re storing and how big it actually is.

• Extra Storage Needs

Do you need room for tools, equipment, or a workspace? Planning ahead for this can make keeping your things organized a breeze. Add shelving, vertical storage bins, and tailor your space to function the way you want.

• Future Plans

Will your needs change in the coming years? Will you own more vehicles or equipment? Planning ahead can save you time, money, and plenty of headaches should you need more space down the line.

• Available Space

Measure your property and your vehicles to get an estimate of how large a structure you’ll need.
