👉 Most frequently chosen:
A double garage measuring 6 × 6 meters, as it offers sufficient space for many vehicles and is economical.

How much space do you need for comfortable parking?

The following distances should be planned for everyday use:

  • Between cars: at least 60 cm
  • To the side walls: approx. 40 to 50 cm
  • In front of and behind the car: approx. 50 to 80 cm

This allows doors and trunk to be opened comfortably—without cramped conditions or scratches.

Height and clearance – often underestimated

The height of the garage is particularly important for:

  • SUVs
  • Vehicles with roof boxes
  • Electric cars

Guideline values:

  • Minimum height: approx. 2.0 m
  • Recommended: 2.25 to 2.50 m

Modern ZAPF precast concrete garages offer these heights as standard.

Additional space for bicycles and equipment

If you want to store bicycles, garden tools, or shelves, the garage should be planned to be larger or supplemented with an integrated equipment room.
