Two vehicles, room to work, and everything behind a lock.

A two-car garage is the one most families actually need — but the number that decides whether it works isn't the two cars, it's the space between and around them. Park two full-size vehicles in a tight 18 ft and you're squeezing sideways out of the door. Give yourself 24 and both doors swing open, you walk the perimeter, and there's a wall left for the workbench.

That's the difference between parking and a real garage. Ours are fully enclosed steel — one wide roll-up or two separate doors, a walk door between the bays, windows for daylight — bolted and braced to your county's wind and snow loads. Not a wood two-car that termites find in ten years, and not an open cover that leaves everything exposed. Four walls, a door that locks, and the room to make it more than a place to park.
