Garage Door Sizing?

Nicoletta
8 years ago

I have planned on having a 2 car attached garage for storing two vehicles, and then some landscaping items and misc tools. I am planning on 26' wide and 34' deep. The extra depth is to make it so my garage bumps out from the house, and to allow extra space infront of parked vehicles for storage and a work area. I didn't put a lot of thought into the garage door location and sizes, but now I need to make the right choice because I can't change it after the stem walls are set. I was thinking two 9' wide doors would be nice. If I have 3' between them, that would give 2.5 feet to each wall.

Since each vehicle is not a full 9' wide, that should be enough room to get in and out of the mid-size SUV and truck, right?

I also want to include 1 personal entry door. Perhaps a small utility door instead on the side or back of the garage to enter in/out of and not have to walk all the way around to get a tool or mower. Any suggestions on what type of smaller door to use as a utility door?
