What about width?
The wider the better! Let's go back to our Ford Explorer, which is about 6' 7" wide (2012 model). If you don't drive a Ford Explorer, I don't either, but I had to pick something. Since the Explorer is one of the more popular SUVs on the road, and it's about the same size as other models in the same class, it's all pretty relative.
Ask a garage planner and they will likely tell you 30" is the minimum comfortable width between cars in a garage or between your car and the wall. Why? So you can open your doors IN the garage.
In a 3 car garage plan example, that means you need 30" between the walls and the outside cars, as well as 30" between each of the three cars. Add to that 6' 7" for three cars and you reach a minimum width of 31'. Do you want to have room for storage along the walls?
If you place 24" shelving on both walls, you are now at 35'. If you are like most of us, you need room for your stuff and larger garage shelves are a big help. Keep that in mind when planning the proper garage size.
