Choose the size of the garage in accordance with the desire and / or opportunity

In the question of the size of the garage, almost every motorist is like a hero of a famous bike: "Doctor, give the tablet from greed and more." The dream of having a "bigger" garage is understandable, because, as experience shows, for a man, a garage is not just a "bedroom for a car". This is a workshop, and a warehouse, and a club for communication, and what to hide is a place for a sit-in for three. Therefore, and wondering what size of the garage would be appropriate for such a multifunctional destination?

Of course, if a haven for the car is planned to be built in the cooperative sector, the dream flight will have to be limited by standard norms. As you know, the normative size of a garage is a minimum in every respect: no comfort, no comfort, no men's club. When calculating such a garage, only the size of the machine and the half-meter protective zone around it are taken into account, determined by the distance to the walls. Thus, the minimum allowable values for the size of the garage are obtained, as a rule, in building cooperatives it is installed 3x6x2.2 m. It is possible to use this space for storage of a car, but there is no additional function for the garage, and it is necessary to call in with caution: Scratch the sides of the machine. If you think about minimum comfort, then the size of the garage should be 4x7x3m. Then it will manage to move more or less freely, without forcing the car out of the gate, and decompose the minimum set of tools.

The size of the garage, which is built away from the nondescript eye of cooperative government, can match any dream of the owner and is limited only by the size of the plot and financial capabilities. The happy owner of such storage for the car is concerned only with the fact that these opportunities coincide with his desires.

Increasing the size of the garage, you can always assign to it the functions and other business premises: store garden tools and old trash (throw the hand does not rise), arrange a real workshop with a workbench and shelves, storage pantry. You can also arrange a comfortable rest area: TV, sofa and the same table for three, most importantly, do not forget to leave a place for the car.

Or for two, if you need a garage for two cars. The dimensions in this case will have to be increased by one more place for the car. It is difficult to name the exact dimensions of such a structure, they really depend on the owner's desire: whether to lodge the garage with all sorts of functions, whether it is limited to storing a couple of cars in it and servicing it at the service station. In the latter case, the size of the garage should provide a place for placing two cars, and even free movement around the owner's car with the largest complex.

Any garage should be properly designed from the outset, in advance providing for free access to any functional area and not forgetting to look into the distant future. How to be, if in a few years instead of the current modest "Lada" it will break a jeep of the appropriate size? Do not rebuild the same garage?
