Garage size 6x6m or 6x7m? What is sensible?

The garage roof can be greened, rainwater can be used for irrigation... has already mentioned some advantages. For example, I don't know anyone who would voluntarily give up a garage. Regardless of whether it's a cheaper car or not. It also contributes to maintaining value. I personally hate dirty cars. A carport is only a makeshift solution. Bird droppings burn into the paint in a short time. It happens even faster if the car is parked openly in the sun. If the money is enough, always go with a garage.

Always check the internal dimensions when it comes to garages! Prefabricated garages usually have thinner walls than masonry garages. If you can, attach a storage room at the back. But then the length is already approaching 9 meters.

There is nothing worse in a new housing development than when everyone parks their cars all over the streets because the garages are too small or cluttered with other things (trampoline, garbage bins, etc.).
A clean solution is: 2 garage parking spaces + 2 (full-sized) parking spaces IN FRONT of the garage. Then you can already park 4 cars on your own property.

The question we’re also asking ourselves: is it worth paying extra to get a garage that is 1 or 2 meters wider?
Furthermore, it also has to fit on the property! That’s not so easy with our plot.

Then I also wonder what kind of “stuff” you currently have that needs to go into the garage?

For lawnmower, garden tools, etc., I can also build a garden shed for 1k, which is totally sufficient.

I can also fit 2 bicycles and 2 sets of tires in a 6x6 garage.

I strongly suspect that the bigger the garage, the more “junk” accumulates. When I look at some garages in new developments, I wonder why a garage was even built? Sometimes there’s only one car in a 6x8m garage and the rest is completely cluttered? I don’t pay 30k for a garage for that. Then I might as well build a carport for 1k? I find that pretty ridiculous somehow.

There should be 2 cars in there, bikes, winter tires, a ladder, and that’s it. The rest belongs in the basement or a garden shed.

Sure, if I had money to burn and enough space, I could also build a 7x10m garage, but do you really need that??

And what happened to the three garbage bins from the original post?

And what happened to the three trash bins from the original post?

I can fit those in myself. But there is also plenty of space behind the garage for a small canopy or something similar.

The question we also ask ourselves: Is it worth paying extra to take a 1 or 2 meter wider garage? Furthermore, it also has to fit on the property! That is not quite so easy with our property.

Even that I can get in there.

Well, then the decision is actually already made, isn't it? What else should we advise here about bigger garages and sufficient parking spaces?
