That‘s because a typical 20’ x 20’ two-car garage is designed to fit (barely) two cars. You’d want at least 24’ x 24’ to fit anything else. Unfortunately most builders do the minimum, or municipal zoning bylaws limit the size.Garage sizes are a joke. MY two car garage will hold my wife's TJ my motorcycle, work benches and tool chest. If I pull my JT in I can't close the door. I laid out the garage using her TJ and my 69 Mustang. chest freezers on the back wall kill the usable space for the JT.
For example, I’m building a new house right now. The bylaw states maximum 25% site coverage if I want a basement; more than that, and I’m not permitted to have one. So for me, it was a choice between a bigger garage or a mancave/theatre room I’m the basement. The for resale, I went with the latter, but compromised with a 22’ x 22’ garage for a little breathing room.
My next build will be outside of the city and their shitty small lots and bylaw limitations.
