Three Car Garage Plans

Three Car Garage Plans

Three car garage plans have massive potential to increase or decrease the value of your property. Having a three car garage is not necessarily a guarantee of a higher value on your home, but choosing the right plan will definitely increase your home’s value.

Here are some tips on how to create functional and beautiful three car garage plans:

Size Matters

Most people who own three cars have three different types of cars and brands. This means the three cars are of potentially varying length and height. It is advisable to not only take measurements of your cars, but to gather calculations of various models of cars to be sure a truck or SUV will fit in the garage, just as a two-door sports car will.

Research Matters

You need to do some serious homework. It can be as simple as driving around your neighborhood or flipping through some magazines to look for ideas for your three car garage. One advantage to looking at existing local structures is that you can see, in person, how they look and how they stand up to the elements. Otherwise, be on the lookout for materials that may or may not work in your geographical location. For instance, if you live near the coast you might need to make some adjustments in the type of materials to be used from a three car garage plan you found in a magazine or online.

Other Items

You need to be realistic when making your three car garage plans. It’s almost a certainty that you will be using the space for storing items other than your cars. Generally, anything you do not want to see inside (or outside) your house automatically gets relegated to the garage. It is the go-to spot for storage in homes. Why not plan for this much-needed storage space as well? You could even consider putting your laundry appliances or old furniture there along with any other seasonal, lawn care, and other items that need to be stored when not in use. Remember, too, that If you put in some overhead cabinets to compensate for the items that you know will end up in the garage, you won’t need to increase the garage size. So be sure to look up, down, sideways and in every corner of your three car garage plans. Try to maximize your space efficiently so that once you complete all of the hard work it will not look cluttered at all.
