Bigger vehicles need bigger concrete garages

December 30, 2009
Posted in Concrete Garages — Written by Louise

It is a well known fact that bigger and more expensive vehicles like 4WDs or sports cars need special and strong garages. There could even be a demand for increase in the shape and height of the garages. Prefabricated garages are usually built to a standard height and width. However, this height may not be suitable for larger vehicles like land rovers or range rovers.

The roof clearance is also referred to as eaves clearance. Almost all the manufacturers of concrete sectional buildings offer elevated eaves and roof clearance. This can also be achieved by simply exchanging the main door of clearance with a vertical lift shutter.

The best recommended height for concrete garages is around 7 and half feet. In some cases you may have to get rid of the weather bar or slope in front of your garage. You must check with the manufacturer if such height is provided. This facility is very brand specific. You may have to do some research work before you decide on a garage.

You can further increase the height of the structure if you have commercial vehicles like vans or mini buses. Often people do not know the standard height to maintain under the stipulated threshold. It is normally about 3m to eaves.
