When buying a car, each person asks himself the question: "Where is the best place to keep it?". Open parking is far from the best solution, and it is not always possible to find closed parking. But what if you live in a small village in which there are none at all? In this case, of course, the best solution would be to build a garage. The covered room in which the car will be stored will protect the car from corrosion and significantly extend its service life. In addition, there it will be possible to store spare parts for your iron horse, to carry out minor repairs.
2 car garage project
Today, many families have two or three cars, some only plan to buy a second car. Therefore, proceeding to suburban construction, one should take into account the further growth of their needs. The most optimal solution in this case is the construction of a garage for two cars.
Before drafting a garage for 2 cars, the owner needs to solve a number of related issues:
- The optimal size of the room.
- The ability to store tools, tires, household equipment, etc.
- Number, size, type of entry gate.
- Combining a garage with a hozblok, a house, a bathhouse.
- Type of roof (single-pitched, spherical, mansard).
- Wall material (timber, brick, pre-blocks, etc.).
- Type of flooring (wooden beams, cast concrete, reinforced concrete panels).
Optimal sizes
The most compact garage project for 2 cars has overall dimensions of 6x6 m. This construction option is quite economical, relatively inexpensive and allows you to easily place two middle class cars. If the family still has one car, the construction of such a garage will also allow for storage, for example, a motorcycle, trailer or other equipment, which takes up a lot of space.
If you are the owner of larger cars (pickup, SUV, etc.) or buying them only in plans, making a garage project for 2 cars, you need to consider the parameters of the cars.
For two cars of the “SUV” class, the most optimal sizes of a garage are 7 by 7 or 7 by 8 m. At the same time, it is possible to provide separate garage doors for each car. In addition, for large cars it is advised to increase the height of the doorway from 2.2 to 3 meters.
The width of the gate is from 2.3 to 2.5 meters.
Combination Options
If there is no utility block or bathhouse on the site, then the function of the garage room can be expanded by first providing a place for these rooms in it. Thus, materials, working time are saved and a fairly compact and functional zone is created for household work and leisure.
Projects of garages for 2 cars with a hozblok
The garage, as a rule, is used not only to maintain the car, but also to store many other things. In a private house, it can be food stocks, bicycles, garden tools, tires and much more. Sometimes so many things accumulate that the owners are also building additional storage facilities. But the more far-sighted are building a garage and a utility block right under one roof . Designing two combined rooms saves both time and effort. In addition, for the construction of these two buildings, you can use one material.
Garage designs for 2 cars with a utility unit can be ordered from specialists or prepared independently. This is the cheapest, fastest and easiest option. Having expanded the room by only 2-2.5 m, you can get enough space for arranging a pantry, a mini-sauna, a pumping station, etc.
Another very popular option for combining - projects of garages for 2 cars with an attic.

Materials for construction
Modern markets offer a fairly large selection of building materials for the construction of garages and household buildings. The most popular are wood, frame structures, brick and concrete.
Brick
This is a fairly high-quality, convenient and durable material. Brick buildings have an attractive appearance. The disadvantages include the rather high cost of the material and the duration of the erection of the walls. And the wages of masons is not cheap.
Tree
It is environmentally friendly, relatively inexpensive and quite attractive material. Due to its low weight, in many cases you can do without a foundation. In addition, good thermal insulation ensures that it is not too difficult to heat the room with a heater in winter.
Concrete
Inexpensive, simple and very affordable material. It is characterized by simplicity of construction and durability, not combustible. Buildings can be erected of any complexity and form. But the main drawback of concrete buildings is the not very attractive appearance, which is why many refuse this material, choosing other options.
Frame construction
For people who want in a short time to get an elegant structure on their site, a frame garage for 2 cars is suitable. The project of its construction is done by professionals. Specialists, if desired by the owner, can build a garage with a hut and a canopy. Most of the work is carried out in the workshops of the company, and on the site only the annual parts are already assembled, so that the construction takes only a few days.
