What Can Fit Inside a 2 Car Garage?

Typically, a two car garage offers just the right amount of space to park your two vehicles. Plus, the walls can also provide room for storage such as bicycles, ladders, garden equipment, trash cans, shelving for bins, etc. If your garage is big enough (for example, like a 24’x24’) you could also fit a workbench for your handyman projects or personal hobby. This size would provide you with enough space to comfortably work on your hobby, allow for shelving to be built on opposite sides of the garage, and easily open and close your car doors. At the end of the day, what you can fit inside your two-garage really depends upon its size, the size of your vehicles (do you own a dually truck?), and whether you add a second floor.
