Two-Car Detached Garages

Two-car detached garages with room for two vehicles side by side, plus storage, a workbench and a layout that keeps doors, walkways and shelves from getting in each other's way.

A two-car garage is the classic answer for families who want shelter for both cars and a place for everything else. Households in Nashville often use the extra width for a mower, bikes, a freezer and a bench. The key is a layout that leaves walkways open and doors that work without a fight.

We plan the width for two vehicles with doors open, then decide between one wide door or two single doors, which changes the look, the framing and the cost. We add storage along one wall, a bench on the back, lighting that avoids shadows and outlets where you will use them. We check the drive approach so you can pull in and out comfortably.

One door or two

A wide door is simple, while two doors give a strong post between them and may look more traditional.

Walking room

We leave space beside and between vehicles so doors can open and people can pass.

Storage and bench

Wall shelves, overhead racks and a bench use the rest of the footprint.

Light and power

Lighting and outlets are placed to avoid shadows and cords across the floor.
