Optimal Garage Dimensions for Your Family

Recently, I visited my uncle Ba Hung in Long Bien and found him meticulously measuring his garage. It turned out he’d just bought a new Hyundai truck for his construction materials business, and his old garage was too cramped, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. Hearing his frustration, I realized that building a garage is just as important as “buying a buffalo, marrying a wife, and building a house,” all significant life events. So today, XE TẢI HÀ NỘI will delve into the topic of optimal garage dimensions, ensuring everyone can create the perfect space for their beloved vehicle.

Garage Dimensions: Essential Considerations

1. Standard Garage Dimensions

For comfortable vehicle entry and exit, along with extra storage space, garage dimensions need careful calculation based on vehicle size and usage needs.

• For 4-seater cars: The minimum area is 3m x 5m (15m2).
• For 7-seater cars: An area of 3.5m x 5.5m (19.25m2) or more is recommended.
• For pickup trucks: The minimum garage size is 3.5m x 6m (21m2).

Note:

• These are minimum dimensions; add a safety margin of 0.5 – 1m on each side for easy door opening and movement.
• For multiple vehicles, multiply the area accordingly.

2. Factors Influencing Garage Dimensions

• Number of vehicles: How many cars does your family own? Are there plans to purchase more in the future?
• Vehicle type: Sedan, pickup truck, or lorry? Each type has different dimensions.
• Intended use: Will the garage solely house vehicles, or also serve as storage, a workshop, etc.?

Expert Advice: “When designing a garage, it’s wise to overestimate the space slightly for future flexibility.” – Mr. Nguyen Van A, Architect at ABC Construction Company.

3. Feng Shui for Garages

Vietnamese culture values Feng Shui, believing that proper garage placement brings luck and prosperity.

• Location: Place the garage in a favorable direction, avoiding directions that clash with the homeowner’s birth element.
• Color: Choose colors that complement the homeowner’s birth element.
• Avoid: Do not position the garage facing the main door, kitchen, or bedrooms.
