Why choose a double garage shed?
A double garage provides enough room to store two vehicles side by side as well as additional storage space. Whether you have two cars, a car and a boat, or simply need extra space for tools and garden equipment, a double garage can accommodate it all.
But the benefits don’t end there:
Versatility: Double garages are not just for vehicles. They can be converted into workshops, home gyms, or even additional living spaces. The extra room allows for various uses, making it a valuable addition to any property.
Enhanced Property Value: Adding a double garage to your property can significantly increase its market value. Potential buyers often consider the added garage space a major benefit, especially in areas where on-street parking is limited or secure vehicle storage is a priority.
Improved Security: A double garage shed provides a secure space to protect your vehicles and belongings from theft, vandalism, and harsh weather conditions. With a sturdy structure and the option to install security features, your possessions remain safe and sound.

Popular double garage designs in our collection
Choosing the right design for your double garage shed is crucial to ensuring it meets your needs and complements your property. Here are some popular designs to consider.
Traditional Gable Roof Double Garage
The gable roof design is a classic choice that suits most homes. It features two sloping sides that meet at a central ridge, providing ample headroom and a spacious interior. This design is ideal for a straightforward, functional garage that blends with their home’s facade.
Barn-Style Double Garage
Barn-style garages are popular for rural properties or those who prefer a more rustic aesthetic. These garages often feature a gambrel roof, which provides additional storage space in the attic area. The barn-style double garage is ideal for those who need extra storage for equipment, tools, or recreational vehicles.

It is recommended that a licensed electrician be hired to ensure the installation is safe and compliant with local regulations.
What should I consider when selecting the location for my double garage shed?
When choosing a location for your double garage shed, consider accessibility, proximity to your home, and the terrain. The site should be level and free from obstructions. Additionally, consider the garage's orientation to optimise natural light and ensure proper drainage away from the structure.
Can I install a double garage shed on an existing concrete slab?
If you already have a suitable concrete slab on your property, you can install a double garage shed on it. The slab should be in good condition, level, and large enough to support the dimensions of the garage. If you're unsure whether your existing slab is adequate, consulting with a professional before proceeding is a good idea.
