Minimum garage size?

Re: Minimu garage size?

26' is the outside of the building. here in canada we build in 2x6. Add sheeting, strapping, exterior and interior finishes, and you lost 8-1/2+" in each end.

that make the inside to ~24,5'. I don't think a 1,5' gap each end can be called "several feet clearance"

My supercab 6,5' bed is 19' long and with a simple 20" table, there's room, but still need to be very close to one end to have "plenty" of room on the other one.

My house walls are 18" thick. You Canadians are southerners, with a mild climate, and don't need much insulation. The dimensions I was proposing are inside dimensions. My several long bed crew cabs are just over 21' feet long, plus any trailer hitch, so 26' depth won't be crazy deep, but I should be able to walk past the nose if the tail is close to the door.

I was referring to inside width.

The sawhorse mockup is a good idea providing you can picture in your mind a $300 ding or living with the buggered up door when you are off the mark a little bit. I'm sure it will help... maybe stick a spike or two out of the sawhorse for a little more realistic feel for things!

$300 ding? If we scratch some rust off with a door ding, my rig becomes more valuable! Seriously, this is just about having dimensions that won't have my wife fussing every time she has to get in the car. Finish is a nonissue for us.
