Im looking to build a garage on my property, yours seems to be the perfect size for my needs. All i would like to know is what’s the square footage of your garage and how high is the ceiling? Cost of the project is no issue. If you could take time out of your busy schedule to answer my question, i would very much appreciate it! Thank you Eric.

one of the other things you have to look at is the bigger it is… slower and harder it is going to be to cool and heat…
for a lift uselly you want 6 ft in front 12 ft behind it… and should have at least 15 ft highLooking at Erics’ video it looks to be around 40’+ deep, and maybe 30′ wide? Not sure on height, maybe 15′?
Largest home garage I ever had was 40’x20′ and with two old Muscle cars there was really no room to have a workbench in front of the cars, so it was along the long wall. Height was about 12′, but I did not have a lift at the time.My friends shop/garage where I usually work on my cars is 40’x50′, and low part of roof might be 15′? The garage doors are 12′ tall.
This is a steel building and insulated, but not heated or cooled. The insulation actually does a pretty good job. Have a fan for the summer that helps a little. Actually have a jet type heater we used a few times in the winter, but normally don’t try to work much when it is really cold out.Another friend has a shop/garage about the same 40’x50′, but he uses it in the winter quite often and he has a waste oil heater.
My garage is to small. It is however attached to my house although. It is 21ft x 20 ft. Which is enough room to get a Jeep, Mustang, or a Shortbed Chevy reg. cab in. Only 2 at a time. When the cars are in here I have about 4 ft max I would say between their bumpers and the wall. You can open one door all the way easy on either car. So you can use this as the bare minimum for a garage. I have work benches and tool boxes up on the back wall. Working in a dealer with 60 other mechanics, we had tons of room. I think out shop was about 100 x 200 or greater in size. So this all depends on how many cars you have in the garage. In the dealership we had about 30-35 ft by 14 ft per vehicle I would guess. Which gave us room for most any vehicle. We all had at least one hoist, and one open bay. We all also had enough room for tools and equipment up against the wall. The roof was about 20 ft high. If you have a 15 foot roof you should have no issues hoisting anything.
