An average single garage is perfect for parking your car, however it’s important to take into consideration your everyday schedule to ensure it caters to your basic routine. For example, if you’re living with someone who has a disability, you will need to consider the space you’ll have around you in a single garage, so that you can maneuver a wheelchair with ease.

Average Double Garage Door Size

• 16ft wide x 7ft high

These measurements allow enough room for two vehicles to be parked together alongside one another. If you find that the size of your vehicles means that there isn’t much room left to open and close the garage door, the most suitable option would be a roller door as it takes up the least amount of space during operation.
