Built country house By frame technology plus a small veranda. The cost turned out to be quite economical, and the time frame was 3 and a half months. We even finished it a couple of weeks earlier than promised. We only go to the dacha in the summer, so I can’t say anything about thermal insulation. Thank you
Thank you very much for building a house made of aerated concrete. The quality of both the material and work is excellent - FRIENDS WILL BE JEALOUS. The time frame for completed work is approximately 4.5 months. empty space the house was built. Good luck to all of you, good clients and big houses!!
They built our house in 3 months (they started the foundation at the end of summer, and finished the walls and interior decoration) , it didn’t turn out cheap, but everything was thought out, our participation was minimal. This year we are building a bathhouse together with them! Thank you for such professional guys that you provided us with!
Thank you so much for your work and attitude! Everything is efficient, high quality, fast! Thanks to the team led by Alexey!
The company built me a great one summer house! I don’t have any complaints about the company; next summer I’m going to build a bathhouse and a garage. I’ll definitely contact them. Thanks to everyone, especially Sergei’s team, who built it for me, a lot depends on them!
We built a house from aerated concrete in your company - I’m very pleased. The house was erected on our pre-prepared foundation in 45 days. And as a gift we received home insurance for a year. So I recommend it.
In August 2017 I ordered the foundation ( monolithic slab) for a house in the Leningrad region. In 2018 I already ordered the house itself. I can recommend it because... We were pleased with the result. Everything was done quickly and professionally.
We ordered a house and garage from this company in the summer of 2016. The builders worked for about 4 months, without a break (they really liked it). Everything was done according to the agreement, no extra money was asked.
Frequently asked questions before construction
About company
How long has your company been in business?
Our company began work as a repair and finishing company in 2007. From that moment on, we have grown into the construction industry and all thanks to our employees. Special thanks for the work invested in the development of the company.
How is the competence of specialists confirmed?
All architects and engineers of the company have qualification certificates. Because the project is not subject to a company license, but to an architect’s certificate. By law, responsibility for the project lies with the architect.
Does your company do all the work? Or do you use contractors?
- We ourselves carry out general construction, Finishing work, site arrangement, wiring engineering systems(electricity, heating around the house, water supply) and so on.
- We invite contractors to work that we do not perform every day and require specialization, for example: production and installation of windows and doors (special orders), air conditioning systems, boiler room equipment, installation of wells, septic tanks.
- Searching, attracting, complying with agreements and monitoring the performance of work by contractors is our task.
- We carry out 80% of all work on the construction of your home ourselves and only 20% involve contractors.
- We enter into an agreement with each contractor in which he specifies a guarantee for the work performed by him, and in case of malfunctions, their elimination is the responsibility of the contractor.
Is it possible to see objects that are currently in operation?
Yes, there are objects that we can show at different stages of work and houses that have already been commissioned by prior arrangement.
about the project
Should I buy a standard project or order an individual one?
Buy finished project.
- Plus is the price.
- The downside is that it will not include all your wishes regarding materials and layouts. Also, it will require modification to suit the characteristics of your site.
Buy a ready-made project and modify it.
It all depends on the changes you want to make. It is possible that developing an individual project will be more profitable for you than modifying a standard one.
The cost of such modifications must be discussed during the meeting.
Development individual project Houses.
- Pros: all your wishes regarding all characteristics of the house and site are taken into account.
- The downside is that the cost of such a project is higher than a standard one.
BUT! You can develop an individual project for free. If our company builds, then the development of an individual project is free for you.
How is an individual project developed?
- The development of an individual project begins with the signing of a contract and the first meeting with the architects, at which the client voices his wishes. Based on the results of the meeting, a design assignment is drawn up, which is an annex to the contract.
- Architects prepare several versions of sketches and decide with the client in which direction to move next. Over the entire design period, several meetings take place with the client, at which all architectural and design solutions are worked out in detail until the client is satisfied with everything, which he confirms with a signature on the Draft Design.
- Next, a working draft is developed. This is the calculation phase of each design solution in which the client is not involved.
- This entire process takes from 2 weeks to 2 months, after which the client receives a finished project with ready-made detailed calculations, which is necessary when submitting documents for a building permit.
About construction
Will you go to the site where construction is planned?
Yes. When inspecting the site, we take into account the size, access from the road and its width, the proximity of neighboring buildings, the presence of a slope or drop, cardinal directions and what kind of soil is on the site.
Do you help with choosing a site for construction?
Yes. Our specialists help with site selection. They will help you find it according to your requirements on the Internet with advertisements.
What affects the final price of a home?
The cost of building a house is affected by:
- site features: relief, entry conditions, location
- materials used in construction
- house architecture features
- work conditions (working time restrictions)
What guarantees do you provide?
We provide a 3-year guarantee on our work. The manufacturer provides a guarantee for materials and it is different in each case. There are materials for which the manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty.
How can I control construction?
- We send each client step by step photo work report.
- We install online video surveillance of the facility 24 hours a day, you and the company’s specialists have access to it (paid service).
- You can also use the services of companies that provide technical control.
- The construction is carried out in stages, you always see which stage and only after accepting one, we proceed to the next.
When is the contract signed?
- The design contract is signed at the meeting, before the first communication with the architect.
- The construction contract is signed after the estimate has been developed and approved.
When should I pay for your work?
For design, an advance payment is required within 5 days after signing the contract in the amount of 70% of the total amount. The balance is paid upon delivery of the finished project to the client.
Payment for construction is broken down according to the stages specified in the estimate. Each stage of construction is also divided into payments, the size of which may vary (usually due to the need to purchase materials)
How are builders placed?
What communications are needed to start construction: electricity, water?
Electricity with a power of at least 5 kW and technical water.
If this is not the case, then we will bring our generators FREE OF CHARGE. In most cases, water wood construction used only for household needs, we will provide its delivery on our own.
What time of year do you carry out construction?
We build all year round, one of the important conditions in the spring-autumn period is a suitable road for vehicle access.

Today, almost every second family living in urban or suburban housing has its own car. Therefore, it is not surprising that garages are very popular. Moreover, in Lately Garages for 2 cars have become especially in demand. They allow you to reliably protect cars from all weather conditions and thieves.
However, it must be taken into account that when constructing them, a number of requirements and features must be observed.
Peculiarities
Nice garage It is quite difficult to build for 2 cars. You can safely compare it with building a house. After all, when designing it, it is necessary to comply with all standards and norms, plus there are also some peculiar nuances. A garage for several cars will be especially relevant for owners of country cottages.
Despite the significant costs of building a double parking lot, many people will like it. After all, it will allow the garage to be used not only by the owners of the house, but also by their guests. This is especially true in not very good weather.
A two-car garage has some advantages over a regular garage:
- firstly, it requires less building materials than the construction of two separate garages;
- secondly, communications are carried out once;
- thirdly, if there are two cars in a family, then they are both protected.
When designing a double garage, strength must be taken into account. After all, the building will not only accommodate two cars. It will also be necessary to allocate space for storing spare parts, tools, equipment and other things. It is necessary to think in advance whether it will be equipped with a jib crane, or whether it will contain various cylinders, flammable and explosive gases.
And also, before starting design, you should clearly understand how you plan to use the garage, how the structure can be improved in the future, for example, expanded or an attic added. When building a garage in a garage cooperative, it is imperative to collect information about neighboring buildings, in particular, what their foundations are made of.
The garage must have an inspection hole with stationary lamps. The standard pit size is 0.9x4 meters. This size of the pit will allow you to carry out car repairs conveniently and safely. It is worth considering that the garage has space for two cars. inspection hole better to offset relative to the gate. You can make a garage with a separate access to the basement to make it more convenient to store gasoline, tires, and so on.
It is important that the building has good air exchange through forced or natural supply and exhaust ventilation. It is best to opt for axial fan with a power of 80-100 W. You should also take care of the availability check valves in the fan.
A quality foundation in a garage is very important. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the climate of the area and the characteristics of the soil. Walls are erected only after the foundation has completely settled. The roof of the garage must be chosen so that it reliably protects from any vagaries of the weather.
It would be useful to think in advance about what equipment will be in the garage. After all, some devices are powered by 380 V, which means you will need to install a transformer. It is also important take care of lighting in the garage, which should be both ceiling and wall.
A 2-car garage can be equipped with one or two doors. Especially important point in this matter is correct installation gate Otherwise, they will become distorted and difficulties will arise during use.
And the garage can also be equipped with heating to make it more comfortable to repair your car during the cold season. Often used heating system or common with the house. The type of heating is selected based on the location of the garage relative to the house.
The location for the building for storing cars is selected based on:
- from the depth of groundwater and communications;
- soil moisture and flowability, its freezing depth;
- terrain of the earth (preferably flat terrain);
- convenience of the access road.
Construction materials
Often, a garage for two cars is built using a permanent or frame method. For permanent construction, concrete or brick is used. This method is characterized by high labor intensity, the use of heavy equipment and individual skill. However, recently, frame garages, as well as buildings made of aerated concrete and foam blocks, are gaining increasing popularity.
To better understand which material is better to choose, it is worth taking a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
Frame
For frame construction, standard components and parts are used. Mainly when frame construction assembly work is being carried out. Among the advantages of frame garages, first of all, it is worth noting their low weight, since they do not have concrete foundation. Moreover, most of the work can be done independently.
For a frame garage, a floating or columnar foundation, less often - belt with a depth of about 40 centimeters.
The advantages of a frame building also include the use of mostly natural environmentally friendly materials, simplicity and speed of construction, the ability to perform work at any time of the year.
Brick
Brick garages are one of the most popular nowadays. Of course, the main disadvantage of such a garage is its heavy weight. For brick structures, a strip foundation with a depth of 0.6 to 1.2 meters is required. Moreover, its width must be at least 0.4 meters. To give the foundation greater strength, additional reinforcement or rubble stone is used.
It should be taken into account that for complete hardening concrete mixture it takes about three weeks. To speed up the drying process, special additives can be added. To avoid cracks, the foundation should be periodically wetted and covered with a tarpaulin. Moreover, the base of the foundation needs insulation and waterproofing.
The thickness of the masonry walls is usually chosen to be one and a half bricks. Steel reinforcing bars are used to strengthen the wall at every fourth or fifth course of bricks. They are laid in horizontal seams. Vertical reinforcement is used to strengthen corners with protrusions.
From foam blocks
Garages made of foam blocks retain heat well, are quick and easy to build, and do not require a heavy foundation. At the same time, the walls, despite their low weight, have good sound insulation, increased frost resistance and are fire and moisture resistant. Foam blocks are a bioresistant material and are environmentally friendly. Among the advantages of this material, its low cost should also be noted.
Despite the large number of advantages, this material also has a number of disadvantages. The most important of them is the fragility of foam blocks; they easily chip. In second place is the possible shrinkage of the walls if a lot of moisture penetrates inside. And also walls made of foam blocks need finishing. A In order to hang something on such a wall, you will need special fasteners.
From aerated concrete
Garages made from aerated concrete blocks are lightweight, which eliminates the need for a massive foundation. And such blocks are distinguished by their durability, environmental friendliness, heat and sound insulation. In addition, aerated concrete is resistant to high temperatures and is fireproof. It is quite easy to build from aerated concrete, as well as subsequently to operate it.
Like every material, aerated concrete also has some disadvantages. For example, if you leave the building without exterior finishing, then it will be very raw inside. This is due to the high hygroscopicity of gas blocks. Aerated concrete blocks require special plaster, not cement and sand. The main disadvantages also include the fragility of the blocks and the need to use special fasteners for placing heavy things on the walls.
Dimensions
When designing a two-car garage, you should first look at the regulations. According to them, the dimensions of a parking space for one car should be as follows:
- length- from 5.5 meters;
- width- from 2.3 meters;
- height- from 2.2 meters, but it is worth considering the height of the car.
When choosing the minimum size of a building for 2 cars, you should take into account that the distance from the side surfaces must be at least 50 centimeters.
When calculating the height of the garage, you need to consider how comfortable it will be to be in it. In order for the height to be as comfortable as possible, it is worth taking the height of yourself tall man in the family and add another 0.5 meters to it. When calculating the size of a garage for two cars, it is also important to take into account that in the future a car with different dimensions will be purchased. And also in the calculations it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the walls and blind areas. This is also necessary to determine the external boundaries of the structure.
In a garage for two cars The length of the entrance should be approximately 5.5 meters. For example, the average sedan is 1.7 meters wide and 4.5 meters long. Thus, the width of the building for two cars will be at least 3.4 meters. When making calculations, it is worth taking into account how the space around the car will be organized so that it is convenient for passengers and the driver to get in or out of it.
The amount of space available for a car with the doors open is approximately ten to fifteen centimeters. To measure the length, you should take a margin of one to one and a half meters.
When planning a garage project, it is worth considering what else will be done with it, for example, a workshop, an attic. In this case, the dimensions should be significantly increased. But it would also be useful to take into account the need for space for storing spare parts and tools. The optimal area for a garage for two cars is 50 m²..
Project
The garage construction project will clarify many issues. It is especially necessary for a two-car garage. When creating a project, a construction plan is drawn up and its cost is estimated.
It is worth noting that careful planning and design will allow you to build garage building with minimal costs. In addition, the garage project will make it possible to wisely distribute the work if the construction is not carried out with one’s own hands.
As for the design options for modern garages, there are many of them. Starting from standard one-story garages with an inspection hole, basement or shed and ending with two-story options with a second residential floor. A garage building can also be equipped with workshops, storage facilities, recreation rooms, guest rooms, billiard rooms and other additional premises.
Designing a garage for two cars can be done either independently or using already ready-made option. Among the projects, you can choose both standard ones, of which there are a huge number, and individual ones from the architect.
Zones
The desired zones should be included in the project in advance. After all, the garage space is often not limited to just parking for cars. A small but very important landing area should be provided.
Often the garage has a workshop area. It should at least represent a place reserved for storing tools and spare parts. Often, for ease of use, the garage is equipped not only with an inspection hole, but also with a lift. All this must be foreseen during planning.
If there is a utility block during the construction, then its area should also be taken into account. Having thought in advance how the entrance to it will be organized (from the garage or from the street). The residential floor in the garage is most often made the second, and it is also worth providing a convenient entrance to it. Recreation areas are also quite often provided in advance.
Thus, if you take care of zoning the garage space in advance, you can get not only a functional, but also a cozy and pleasant space.
Examples of buildings
Among the examples of garage buildings, there are quite interesting modern options that deserve attention.
- Garage for two cars made of foam blocks measuring 6x11 meters with economic block . For this building, a monolithic slab was chosen as the foundation, and foam blocks were chosen for the walls. The garage roof is made of roof trusses, and metal tiles were chosen as the roof. The walls of the garage are lined with brick. As for the gates, they are made automatic sectional. The utility block is made in the same style as the garage. The only thing that makes it stand out is its height. The entrance to the utility block is made from the street and from the garage, which makes it even more convenient to use.
- Garage for two cars 7x13 meters with a residential floor and utility block. For this construction it was used monolithic foundation and walls made of foam blocks 2 centimeters thick. Moreover, the walls are insulated. The roof is made gable with a slope angle of 25 degrees. Metal tiles are used as roofing. The walls are finished with imitation timber, which makes them more comfortable. The gates in this garage are automatic roller. In this project, the garage occupies a smaller area than the residential floor with utility parts. It is made compactly with convenient entry. There is no entrance to the utility room directly from the garage. However, with outside it is covered by a canopy hanging over the first floor, where the utility part is actually located. The residential floor is made second.
This layout is ideal for a small summer cottage, where there is no desire or opportunity to build a large residential building. Everything you need for life is conveniently combined with the garage and does not take up much space.
- Garage for two cars frame 6x10 meters with attic space is also interesting option. A monolithic slab is used as the foundation. Frame walls sheathed on one side with OSB. Leads from the garage to the attic wooden staircase. Flexible tiles acts as a garage roof.
As for the exterior decoration of the building, it is represented by siding and decorative stone. The garage windows are glazed with plastic double-glazed windows.
The gates in this project are automatic roller gates. The appearance of such a garage is very simple, but at the same time it is spacious inside, and there is a place not only for storing and repairing the car, but also for relaxation. This option will become great solution as for suburban area, and for the garage community.
In a family with several car owners, a garage project for 2 cars would be relevant. A room intended for two cars at once has many advantages, and can also be used for additional purposes.
Before starting construction, it is necessary to correctly determine the size, and also pay attention to other important details. Let's look at what the process of building a garage for 2 cars looks like and how to make it convenient.
Building a garage for several cars is a fairly convenient option, but it has many nuances. The most important thing is to comply with all standards, correctly calculate the size, and also decide on the type of garage.
2 car garage plans.
Building a garage for 2 cars at once will have many advantages:
- construction will require less materials than when building two separate premises;
- it is possible to allocate a lot of space for storing various items: tools, garden materials, spare parts and other things;
- communications are carried out once;
- can choose modern version car shelters and build two-story garage, equipping the attic to your taste;
- both cars will be protected.
To calculate the right size certain rules must be followed:
- find out the dimensions of cars;
- decide on the type of gate;
- take into account that in the future it is possible to purchase a new larger car;
- highlight extra bed depending on needs - storage of items, do-it-yourself repair cars and more;
- provide for the driving skills of family members in advance; it will be difficult for a beginner to drive into a narrow garage;
- choose a comfortable distance between the car and from the wall to the door.
Diagram of the garage and utility room.
The average sedan size is 1.7 meters wide, 4.5 meters long and 1.4 meters high. Based on this, the optimal width of a garage for two cars will be 3.4 m plus at least 0.9 m between the cars and 0.8 m will need to be left from the door to the side wall of the room.
A minimum of 0.5 should be added to the length of the vehicle for convenient movement in front of its front and rear, that is, we add another meter to the length. Minimum height shelters are calculated according to the height of the tallest family member plus 50 cm.
When choosing sectional doors a certain space for the mechanism will be required under the ceiling, so it is advisable to discuss this point in advance with the design supplier.
Thus standard sizes a garage for 2 cars looks like this:
- depth – from 5.5 m;
- width – from 5.1 m;
- height – from 2.2 m.
The indicated parameters are the most minimal and “poor” option; to store a motorcycle, bicycle, spare parts, etc., you will need to increase the space. Optimal area convenient garage with space for everything you need - about 50 m2.
Preparatory work
Before starting construction, the car enthusiast should pay attention to a few more nuances, in addition to determining the size:
- decide on the type of entrance gate;
- choose materials for the room.
Entry options
Drawing of a garage for 2 cars.
Entry into a garage for 2 cars can be done with one gate or two. In addition, there are several types of gates:
- swing - with or without automation;
- roller shutters;
- recoil;
- lift-and-swivel;
- sectional.
Swing gates will cost less than others, but they are less convenient to use, since you will have to get out of the vehicle and open the gate at each entrance. Convenience lovers who do not lack funds are recommended to install sectional doors.
This type of door is quite popular for two-vehicle garages because:
- come in almost any size;
- have high safety;
- are sealed, which provides warmth;
- open almost silently;
- have different designs.
For a garage owner, it is recommended to choose two individual designs, which will allow you to keep the room warm during the cold season or rent out an empty adjacent parking space if the project involves dividing the room into two parts.
In addition, general up-and-over entry gates can be very expensive, since some manufacturers consider this design to be non-standard, resulting in higher prices.
What materials to choose for construction?
A garage for 2 cars is usually built using capital or frame methods, on which the materials will depend. In the first case, concrete or brick is used, which makes the room durable and reliable. The only disadvantage will be the laboriousness of the work and the need for heavy-duty equipment.
However, when constructing a garage at the same time as a house, such a nuance can hardly be called a disadvantage, since construction work is already underway.
The most popular and most often used material for a garage is brick. A brick building will have a presentable appearance and, moreover, its main characteristics are durability and high quality. Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting the high cost and long construction time.
2 car garage layout.
It is also important to take into account that when choosing such material you will need to pay attention Special attention strengthening the foundation, since it is quite heavy.
Concrete foam blocks are also popular, but externally the structure will not look as attractive as brick. The main advantages of the material are its relatively low price, long service life and fire resistance. The two materials can be combined.
Building an entire garage out of brick is unreasonably expensive, time-consuming and pointless, so it is enough to use it for cladding external walls, for other purposes use foam or gas block.
Frame garage It is built on the basis of a metal or wooden frame.
By choosing a tree, you can save a lot, and this option also has other advantages, including:
- use of environmentally friendly materials;
- light weight;
- condensation is eliminated due to the “breathing” property of wood;
- speed of construction;
- no need for a concrete foundation;
- possibility of self-building.
The disadvantages are also significant:
- the material allows moisture and cold to pass through;
- fire hazard.
If electrical or gas welding work will be carried out in the car shelter, or gasoline or other products will be stored hazardous materials, then under no circumstances should you build a frame garage made of wood.
What are the main stages of construction?
After calculating the comfortable size of the shelter, selecting materials and entry options, you can begin construction. The construction of a garage for 2 cars is divided into several stages.
Garage plan and dimensions.
First, a room design is created, followed by:
- choose a place to build a garage by studying the soil characteristics;
- choose the type of foundation;
- fill the floor;
- build walls and roof;
- provide convenient access to the parking lot;
- carry out ventilation;
- provide space heating.
Planning
When planning parking for 2 cars, the car owner will be able to build it with maximum convenience and minimal cost. There are many designs for car shelters: with a basement, with an inspection hole, a canopy, a two-story garage and even a garage for 3 cars, which is relevant for large country houses.
All these nuances and additional needs should be taken into account before construction begins.
A competent project includes:
- comfortable garage size for two cars;
- convenient entry into the premises and the ability to turn around when leaving;
- wall material and thickness;
- type of gate;
- foundation type;
- type of roof and roofing material;
- communications - heating, water supply, sewerage, electricity.
If the garage is built into the house or connected by a passage, you will need to take care of insulation, door sealing and soundproofing.
In some cases, it will not be superfluous to build a small canopy in front of the mini parking lot, which will protect from rain, sun, hail, etc. negative impact when there is no need to park the car in a garage for a long time.
You should not choose a place for a garage close to large growing trees, since their roots can destroy the foundation, and in wet or swampy areas. If there are doubts about creating a correct and accurate project, then it is better to leave it to specialists to avoid extra work and cash costs.
Foundation
When building a garage for two cars, it is important to make a high-quality foundation, taking into account the characteristics of the soil and climate. In this case, two types of foundation are suitable - columnar or strip, depending on the type of room.
Drawing of a garage for two cars.
A columnar foundation is easy to construct and an economical option, but is applicable only for lightweight houses and structures - frame or wooden type. This type of base excludes the construction of basements and cellars, and is also not suitable for soil subject to movement.
The second type is most often used - strip, since it is used for permanent structures. Depending on the soil, its depth is usually no more than 50-70 cm. For strip foundation You will need to dig a trench and reinforce it with reinforcement before pouring concrete.
After laying the foundation of the garage space, you should tackle the floor. It must be even for this concrete screed poured onto a layer of sand of 10 cm. A perfectly flat floor will avoid stagnation of water and the development of dampness.
It is also important to maintain a slope of 2-3 cm to the side garage doors so that the water flows out easily, or install a grate to drain the water.
Walls and roof
The walls are erected after the foundation and concrete floor have completely settled. The process of constructing walls depends on the chosen material. A brick building requires plastering of the walls on both sides, after which it must be applied finishing coat– tiles or facade paint.
These materials tolerate moisture well. To make the garage look presentable, it is recommended to use the same coating as on the main part of the house or on other buildings on the site.
If the garage is not built into the house, then you will need a roof. As roofing material use: roofing felt, slate, tiles or corrugated sheets. First, wooden rafters are installed, after which the frame is installed and the roof is installed.
It is advisable to make the roof with a slope, which will avoid the accumulation of water from rain or snow.
Bottom line
Families who have two cars need to build a large garage that can accommodate the vehicles. Before starting construction, you will need to decide on the size of the room. This item is especially important because the comfortable use of the garage depends on it.
It is important to calculate not only the space for cars, taking into account open doors and comfortable movement, but also to calculate additional space for personal needs: your own workshop, motorcycle, bicycle and other small vehicles, as well as storage of various items.
After determining the required area, you can begin preparatory work, choose a place to build a garage for two cars, and then start construction. It is important to pay special attention to the design of the space, especially when it comes to a two- or three-car garage.
The benefits of a double garage are actually more than meets the eye. The construction of such an option will bring the following benefits:
- The building is built with one common wall - serious savings. It will cost much less than if you build or purchase two separate garages.
- You can get by with just one communication system.
- Cars will always be parked in the same room, and not, for example, in different parts district.
- If for some reason there is only one car left, then the second garage can be rented out profitably.
Minimum dimensions and optimal dimensions
How not to make a mistake with the size? Some car owners, when building a garage with their own hands, try to expand its size to the maximum. But this is not the right decision. Yes, there is a lot of free space, but this often turns out to be a waste of money.
The calculation should be made relative to the size of the cars. And at the same time, it would be best to take into account the possibility of an event when in the garage people will get into the car from both sides at once - and there is enough space for this.
The minimum standard distances should be as follows:
- There should be a distance between cars of at least one open door (plus a distance taking into account an error of 10-15 cm) - according to the experience of drivers, about 90 centimeters is enough for this purpose.
Important! In this case, the doors will open quietly without scratching the neighboring car.
- There should be at least 60-80 centimeters of free space between the side walls and the cars so that you can get out of the car comfortably.
- There should also be enough space in front and behind the car to allow free movement inside the garage. For this purpose, it is enough to leave at least half a meter of free space on each side.
- Don't forget about the size of the gate. Their width should be free enough for comfortable travel. To do this, at least 40 centimeters must remain on the sides of the driving car.
This will save the motorist from any problems with this process.
- The height of the gate is a point that beginners often forget about. For passenger cars, the average height of a person - from 1.75 meters - will be sufficient. But if among the transport a person owns a minibus (or there are plans to buy one), then you need to make the height for it, with a small margin - about 20 cm.
It is better to make the height of the entire garage about 2.5 meters - this will make it possible to install shelves and racks.
If the construction area allows, then a good option would be to build a parking lot ( covered canopy) near the garage.
In the future, this will make it possible to park vehicles that would not fit inside, and a covered canopy will make it possible, if something happens, to quickly hide your car from the sun's rays and precipitation without driving it inside.
Various entry options
The main question when planning an entrance will be: should we make one common gate, or a separate entrance for each place? Each option has both positive aspects and disadvantages.
The most budget option will install one common double-leaf swing gate. But with this, using the garage will not be entirely convenient, and gates attached to hinges may often break, forcing them to be serviced frequently.
If you make common gates lifting, it will cost a pretty penny, since in addition to the size, manufacturers will further increase their cost due to the non-standard design.
Two gates will be more profitable for two reasons:
- Simplified parking for two cars.
- When one of the garage spaces is idle, it can be easily rented out.
That's why most convenient option There will be installation of two lift-type gates- sectional or rotary, with the possibility of automatic lifting.

Materials for construction
There are a lot of materials for construction, but worthy of mention are:
- brick;
- concrete and ceramic stones;
- Wall panels;
- concrete;
- frame structures.
The most popular of all materials is, without a doubt, good old brick. But some people still prefer to use lightweight blocks, or frame structures.
A brick garage will outperform almost any other- therefore, there is a need to build a foundation at a depth of up to one meter. To strengthen the foundation, reinforcement is used, and occasionally rubble stone.
Brick walls are built one and a half bricks thick - and from this you can count required amount blocks of this building material.
Reference! Using building blocks will allow you to build a garage very quickly. The blocks are quite light in weight, and their volume exceeds the size of a brick by 6 times.
Due to its light weight, there is no need to pour a foundation - a significant saving for the future owner.
A frame garage is also one of the best options. Its advantages are:
- It is the easiest way to build a frame garage, and also quite quickly.
- Only environmentally friendly materials are used.
- The garage will be well protected from bad weather conditions and from penetration.
- Construction can be carried out at any time of the year.
Conclusion
Two car garage - most best option for owners of several cars at once. It is easier to build than two separate ones, and storing cars in it is also more comfortable.
Construction costs will be much lower, which will allow you to invest more in the quality of construction. At correct calculations and well-chosen materials for construction, the newfound garage will qualitatively store cars in best conditions, and will serve the owner for decades.
Individual garage - optimal solution, which protects the car from thieves and solves parking problems. Building a garage for two cars has its own characteristics, and first you need to carefully consider its plan.
Garage dimensions
When determining the size of the garage, certain standards must be taken into account.
- For convenience and freedom of movement, a parking space for one car must be at least 2.3 meters wide and more than 5.5 meters long.
- There must be a gap of at least 50 cm between the walls and the machines.
- The dimensions of the cars vary greatly. On average, the length of the machine is 4.5 m and the width is 1.7 m.
- For two cars, these figures need to be increased by approximately 2 times, taking into account the gap between them and the walls.
Thus, the minimum width of a garage for two cars cannot be less than 5 meters.
In order to feel comfortable, it is advisable to leave 0.5 m above your head free space. By adding 50 cm to the height of the car owner, we get the estimated height of the garage. Typically, projects for garages are designed for a ceiling height of 2.2-2.5 m.
As a rule, owners plan to operate garages for a long time. They are often used to house equipment. It is worth thinking about how shelves and racks will be placed. Many car enthusiasts store things in garages that take up a lot of space in the apartment. When planning a garage, it is necessary to take into account the increase in its size, taking into account these factors.
Construction site
Before building a two-car garage, be sure to study the soil characteristics and the depth at which they lie. groundwater, you also need to find out if there are any communications nearby.
Foundation
Foundations for a garage can be of 2 options:
- tape,
- columnar.
Belts are used in construction capital buildings. For lighter structures, a columnar foundation is sufficient.
The depth of the trench under the foundation, taking into account the freezing point of the soil, is taken to be 1 m. Having prepared the trench, we install reinforcement along the entire perimeter. Next we pour the concrete.
Walls
As a masonry material for raising walls, preference should be given to brick. The optimal masonry thickness is 1 brick. This wall construction material has good strength, in addition, it does not burn. The only drawback of brick is its high thermal conductivity coefficient. Therefore the walls are inside it is necessary to insulate it with polyurethane foam (foam plastic) and plaster it. Foam boards are attached to brickwork special glue. A layer of plaster is applied to the previously glued foam plastic construction mesh, otherwise cracks may appear in the plaster.
Floor
After the foundation hardens, begin pouring the floor. To make the floor level, the screed is poured onto a layer of sand. Water should not get into the garage. Therefore, we make sure to maintain a slight bias towards the exit. After the concrete has hardened, after about 3 weeks, you can cover the floor with concrete paint or clinker tiles.
The entrance to the garage can be equipped with concrete slabs. High quality coating is also obtained by paving or laying special figured tiles for paving sidewalks.
Roof
The main purpose of a garage roof is to retain heat and protect against moisture. It is preferable to choose a roof with a slope, since flat roof Precipitation and melt water will inevitably accumulate, and this can lead to leaks and dampness.
We begin the construction of the roof by installing the rafters. We make the frame from wooden beams. We nail the boards over them so that there are no gaps. We lay roofing felt, profiled sheets, slate or tiles on top. It all depends on your preferences, now the industry offers wide choose various roofing materials,
Ventilation
To maintain the necessary microclimate in the garage, it must be equipped supply and exhaust ventilation. Exhaust gases that are harmful to humans constantly accumulate in the garage and must be removed promptly. Besides, efficient ventilation will create normal air exchange. This will help dry the car quickly. There are three types of ventilation:
- natural,
- forced or mechanical
- combined.
The natural type of ventilation is the most widespread because it is the simplest and cheapest. At the bottom of the gate, supply grilles are installed, through which exhaust air is forced out - it is less dense. Section supply system should be 2 times larger than the exhaust cross-section, only in this case the moist air will not stagnate in the garage.
The natural method of ventilation has disadvantages - its effectiveness is highly dependent on wind speed, pressure and temperature changes. By installing a fan in your garage, you can significantly increase the efficiency of ventilation. Such a system is called combined.
Mechanical ventilation does not have these disadvantages. Once air enters the system, it is filtered and heated. It then passes through the air distributor and enters the room. Exhaust air is removed using an exhaust fan.
Heating
Existing heating systems can be divided into 2 types:
- shared with the house
- autonomous.
It’s good if the garage is built at the same time as the house. In this case, the same type of heating is installed in it. It is enough to simply install the pipeline and install the radiators.
Separately standing garage Car owners often heat their homes with autonomous equipment running on electricity or gas. For example, heat guns They have great power and quickly create comfortable conditions in the garage.
