🚗 Single Garage: Compact & Cost-Effective

A single garage is the ideal option if you need to store just one vehicle, especially on a tight block or budget.

📐 Standard Size: Approx. 3.0m wide x 6.0m long

✅ Best for:

• Small to mid-size sedans or hatchbacks
• Motorbikes, scooters, or compact trailers
• Homeowners with limited yard or side access

⚠ Considerations:

• Limited space for storage or shelving
• May feel tight when opening doors in wider vehicles
• Harder to repurpose as a workshop or gym

🚙 Double Garage: The Most Popular Choice

A double garage is the most common option for modern households and offers ample room for two vehicles and some storage or workspace.

📐 Standard Size: Approx. 6.0m wide x 6.0m long

✅ Best for:

• Two cars, or one car and extra space for storage
• Families with multiple drivers
• Adding value to a property

⚠ Considerations:

• Needs more space and a larger driveway
• Costs more in materials, slab, and roofing than a single

🚐 Triple Garage: Room for Everything

Need space for three vehicles, or just want extra room for a workshop, gym, or hobby zone? A triple garage is a high-end, future-proof solution.

📐 Standard Size: Approx. 9.0m wide x 6.0m long
(Custom sizes available for 4WDs, caravans, boats, etc.)

✅ Best for:

• Large families or car enthusiasts
• Combining vehicle protection with workshop/storage space
• Rural, acreage, or luxury builds

⚠ Considerations:

• Larger footprint requires a bigger block and higher budget
• May need more council approval steps

🔧 Custom Garage Sizes: Build What You Need

While standard garage sizes are a great starting point, many customers require custom dimensions. At Australian Garages & Carports, we tailor every build to your needs—whether you want extra height for a boat, depth for a workbench, or side access for tools and gear.

Customisations Available:

• Extra height for 4WDs or caravans
• Roller doors (manual or electric)
• Internal wall partitions or shelving
• Insulation, skylights, and power outlets
