Help me design a garage.

[jbailly]

Hey all,
New member here with my first post looking for opinions. I know this can be an open ended question, but I am thinking about a 4 car garage 3 cars will be storage while one will be a working area with lift. I was thinking around 36' x 40' with 12' ceilings. Now I don't have an endless budget, but would you think this would work or maybe a little bigger. Keep in mind I am not building an aircraft hangar here. This forum has given me alot of good ideas already.
Thanks,
Jon

That should be big enough for what you mentioned. Just remember they are never big enough & if you can plan for a future addition space when laying out your location all the better

36' x 40' seems a good size for your needs, I'd make it 40' wide and 36' deep

Mine is 30' wide and 26' deep, you can see inside video link below

I restored a few cars in my shop. When one car is completely disassembled, the parts will take up an area equivalent to 3 parking spots.
