What exactly you need to know about the construction of such a facility, to understand revision HouseChief.

Not that dance, but need a lot of space

If you use a garage box exclusively for parking, you can do minimal dimensions, leaving the perimeter of the car just half a meter square so that you can open the door and exit. But hardly anyone of the owners avtoupryazhki enjoys garage just so utilitarian. What are you talking about!

Garages may consist of several boxes for cars, space for a sink with a drain, the second floor, and even do not believe such happiness - bathhouse.

But back to the optimal size, that should not be cut. On average, the width of the car - 170 cm. Cost to add at least 1 m for normal entry, not to scrape the sides of the walls. It turns 270 cm, but it is necessary to round off this figure to at least 300.

As for the length of the box, there must be half a meter in front of the car, and the rear, so that you can go and close the door or climb into the trunk -. not less than 1 m at an average length of 5 m in the car we get 6.5 m rounded to 7, you will not regret..

Typically, this option is selected, if the house and yard improvement has already been completed and in the process it is not the access roads to the residential structure were provided. If so - then put the garage as close to the entrance to the site, perhaps so that the gates were opened to the street. On the other hand, this arrangement does not make you "bother" with increased and balanced foundation of the house. And it does everything itself, boxing is much cheaper.

Foundation: What is better to choose
