Hello everyone,

we are planning to build a double garage with external dimensions of 6.46 x 8.75 meters.
The interior width of the garage is 5.80 meters.

The garage door is 5.04 meters wide.

We are not sure if the door size of 5 meters is sufficient to comfortably park two medium-sized cars. What are your experiences? Is the size sufficient? If anyone has a similar double garage, pictures with two parked cars would be great.

Best regards

I cannot see any reason for concern regarding the width itself, but the location is no less important than the width itself; and the usage also plays a role. Is the gate centered, is parking v/v, r/v or r/r ... ? Also, whether only the driver gets in/out of the garage or if it turns into an event for the whole team makes a big difference. Nowadays, "double garage" sometimes doesn't even mean that both parking spaces are used for everyday cars. One parking space being used solely for clutter, children's vehicles, or a seasonal vehicle is also no rarity today.

The gate is positioned exactly in the middle. I cannot say anything about the parking direction yet.

That means the habits of the future spouse are not yet known? From my point of view, that would speak for r/v, but in any case it implies an (almost) decision.

Sounds like only r/v is possible. That would be okay for us, provided there is enough space.

The problem is not the gate but the internal dimensions. Why do you take such a thick stone? Although even 5.8m is sufficient, with us a Duster and a Passat park side by side, but it could be wider, only the property did not allow it.
