! May not be the best fit if you…
  • You need living space, such as a guest apartment or carriage house.
  • You require parking for oversized vehicles, RVs, or more than two cars.

About this plan

A compact footprint and efficient two-car layout make this 357-square-foot detached garage an excellent choice for properties where space is limited. Measuring just 17 feet wide by 21 feet deep, the single-story design provides front-entry access through a 10-foot-wide by 8-foot-tall garage door, creating a practical structure for everyday vehicle protection while maintaining a modest building profile.

The open interior is free of partitions, allowing flexible use of the garage for parking, bicycles, lawn equipment, or household storage. A 9-foot 4-inch ceiling height provides comfortable overhead clearance, while the straightforward floor plan supports easy vehicle movement from the garage door to the rear wall. Farmhouse, Craftsman, and Country styling is reflected in the lap siding and balanced roof proportions, giving the structure an appearance that complements a variety of residential settings.

Constructed with stick-frame roof framing and a monolithic slab foundation, with a floating slab option available, this detached garage offers durable construction and installation flexibility. Its front-entry configuration and compact dimensions make it well suited for adding covered parking without increasing the home's finished living area.
