Single garage floor plan — 6 × 4 m with storage down one side

Single timber garage, 44 mm walls

One car, and a strip beside it wide enough to be worth something. That is what the extra width over a minimum garage buys here: a hatchback is about 1.8 m across the body and you want 0.8 m at the driver's side to get out, which still leaves a little over a metre of the 4 m width free down the far side. A metre is bench depth, not shelf depth.

Decide which car it is for before you settle that width, though. Park an SUV at nearer 2.0 m and the far strip drops to about the width of a shelf — still useful, no longer somewhere you stand and work. Width is the one dimension a garage cannot borrow from anywhere else.

Single garage floor plan — 6 × 4 m with storage down one side — A single garage in 44 mm timber with the opening on the gable end, so neither long wall is interrupted.

Sizes are taken from the drawing and are a starting point — everything here can be changed.Room sizes are measured to the drawn line, so they do not allow for wall thickness — the finished floor area will be a little smaller. Areas are rounded down for the same reason.

Why the door is on the short wall

The opening is drawn in one of the 4 m ends, which leaves both 6 m walls running unbroken from front to back — around 17 running metres of wall you can put something against, once the doorway is taken out. Move the door into a long wall and you lose the best run in the building to a set of hinges.

Depth does the same job at the far end. Most family cars are under 4.5 m long, so a 6 m interior leaves better than a metre past the bumper: a chest freezer, bikes on the wall, or the garden things that would otherwise need a shed you have not bought yet. Storage on two sides rather than one is what really separates this plan from the smaller garage.

What it is not

It is not a two-car garage, and no rearranging makes it one — two abreast want close to 5.5 m of clear width and this is 4 m. If a second car is even a maybe, start from the square double plan and edit that instead; stretching this one that far is a redesign rather than a change.

The usual edits

A personnel door in a long wall, so the main opening can stay shut all winter
A second window at the bench end — 5 lights the car, not the work
Widening the opening, which decides what can get in far more than the floor area does
Half a metre more width, once you admit this is a workshop with a car in it

The 44 mm wall is a garage wall: dry, secure, thick enough to take racking screwed to it, and not one to heat through a winter unless you say so early, because wall specification moves the price more than floor area does. Underneath, it wants a flat slab rather than the footings a masonry garage needs. The 1 door and 5 window on the drawing are a starting point, not a survey.
