Double Garages

Common use cases for Double Garage Sheds

Property owners choose double garage sheds for situations where they need protected parking for two vehicles plus additional storage or workspace.

Two-vehicle households: Families with two cars use both bays for daily parking. Each vehicle gets protected storage, and the remaining space along walls or at the rear holds tools, sporting equipment, or outdoor furniture. The enclosed structure keeps everything secure and out of weather.

One vehicle plus workshop: People park one car in a bay and use the other as dedicated workshop space. The workshop section holds tools, benches, and equipment without interfering with vehicle parking. The separated layout means you can work on projects without having to move the car or clear space constantly.

Vehicle and recreational equipment storage: Owners park a daily car in one bay and store a boat, jet ski, trailer, or motorcycle in the other. The double garage accommodates both standard vehicles and recreational equipment that needs weather protection between uses.

Home business operations: People running businesses from home use double garages to separate work and personal vehicles. Park a commercial vehicle or ute in one bay, use the other for materials or inventory, and maintain clear separation between business and personal items.

Car enthusiast and project vehicle storage: Enthusiasts park a daily driver in one bay and use the other for a project car, classic vehicle, or restoration work. The double garage provides space to work on vehicles while keeping the daily car accessible and protected.

Storage for growing families: Households with children use one or both bays for vehicle parking while dedicating wall and overhead space to family storage. Sports equipment, bikes, camping gear, and seasonal items stay organized and accessible without taking over the house or yard.

Rental property additions: Property investors add double garages to rental homes because two-car parking is a standard expectation for many tenants. The garage increases property value and rental appeal, helping attract quality tenants.

The versatility of double garage sheds means they adapt to different needs over time. What starts as two-vehicle parking can evolve into workshop configurations or mixed-use storage as requirements change.

Common sizes for Double Garage Sheds

Double garage sheds come in dimensions that suit your property and what you're storing. Certain sizes are more common because they provide adequate room for two vehicles plus working space.

6m x 6m (standard double garage): This size accommodates two standard cars parked side by side with enough room to open doors and walk between vehicles. The 6-metre depth suits most standard cars with space for front or rear storage.

6m x 7m or 6m x 8m (extended depth): The extra length provides room behind parked cars for storage shelves, workbenches, or equipment. This configuration works well when you need functional storage space beyond just vehicle parking.

6m x 9m (workshop depth): The 9-metre depth creates substantial space behind vehicles for workshop activities or extensive storage. This size suits properties where the garage serves multiple purposes beyond just parking two cars.

7m x 6m or 7m x 7m (wider bays): The increased width provides more comfortable room around parked vehicles or accommodates larger vehicles like utes. The extra width also allows for side storage or workspace alongside parked cars.
