More than too often homeowners end up building a garage addition that is too small. While developing your garage addition plans consider what you want to store in the garage besides your automobiles. An appropriately sized garage addition should be able to comfortably fit your automobiles as well as various lawn and garden tools, along with bikes and other toys.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you plan to have a garage work bench area you will need approximately 24 square feet (e.g. 3\u2019x8\u2019) of space for it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>In addition, when contemplating the garage addition size also consider space for storage and shelves, as well as for comfortably moving around in the garage.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">Increasing the size of your garage addition has minimal effect on the overall garage addition costs. Much of the cost of building a garage addition involves just getting the various trades on site.<\/p>\n<p>So whether the garage is 22\u2019x22\u2019, 24\u2019x24\u2019 or larger don\u2019t expect much in savings from your garage addition contractor quotes by decreasing the garage addition size.<\/p>\n<p>In my personal opinion I would recommend a garage addition size that is not less than 24\u2019x24\u2019 in dimensions. Any smaller than this and you will be unable to fit much more that a couple of automobiles in it. If a center support Lally column is required you will also find yourself having a difficult time getting into your cars and will more than likely end up dinging car doors on a regular basis.<\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/room-addition-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1586 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-249x300.jpg\" alt=\"Garage Addition Bid Sheet\" width=\"249\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-768x927.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-848x1024.jpg 848w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet.jpg 956w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>In regards to the subject of support columns you may also want to investigate garage addition solutions that eliminate the need for them, such as including in your garage addition plans the use of engineering beams (wood or steel).<\/p>\n<p>So if you are planning to build a garage addition, don\u2019t skimp on the garage addition size. I would highly recommend a garage addition size of 26\u2019x26\u2019 or 26\u2019x28\u2019 if your existing house can aesthetically support its size and without compromising the home\u2019s curb appeal.
