I am currently considering how wide a standard garage and the corresponding door should be for the following situation:
A car will be parked in the garage, and it should be easy to get in and out of the car. Next to it, there should also be space for a bicycle or tires.
Is 3 meters (10 feet) internal width enough? The car is a mid-size station wagon.
What are the typical standard dimensions for the garage door in this case?
I want to avoid having to opt for expensive custom sizes.
Thanks in advance!

An internal width of 3 meters (10 feet) is considered oversized – since anything wider than 3 meters (10 feet) requires special heavy transport, which increases the cost! [If the garage is delivered in one piece]
Go with well-known suppliers; they offer garage designs in many sizes. Standard sizes are much easier to handle.
Our garage has an external width of 3.0 meters (10 feet), with walls about 5 cm (2 inches) thick – so the internal width is around 3.40 meters (11 feet). The door is 3 meters (10 feet) wide. This allows us to comfortably get out on both sides inside the garage and take the children out of their seats while keeping them dry, BUT: there is no space left next to the car. That’s why we made the garage about 6.5 meters (21 feet) deep, so tires and wheels can be placed in front of the car, plus an additional door (1 meter (3 feet 3 inches) wide for the bike trailer) to get the stuff in and out easily.

I am only concerned about the measurements because the garage will be built with masonry.
With a prefabricated garage, this issue with the measurements should not occur.

If you only have the usual 3.00 m (10 feet) available, you don’t have many options. 3.00 m (10 feet) minus twice the wall thickness; then you know how much interior space you actually have.
For your requirements, I would almost suspect that less than 4.00 m (13 feet) clear interior width won’t work with a prefabricated garage; probably 4.50 m (15 feet) plus twice the wall thickness would be better. You do realize that when building a masonry garage, the figures you get will be quite different from those of a prefabricated garage, right?
Best regards, Bauexperte

PhoenixDH9 Sep 2013 13:52There is enough space! The plot is 30m long (98 feet). What do you mean by other figures? Dimensions according to the standard? It should be built with masonry since there will be a storage room behind it.
