I post this knowing two things. 1) they are never big enough, but you have to stop somewhere 2) for every response, I will probably get a different answer......but here goes.
I'm in the planning stages for a new attached garage. Oversize 3 stall. Wife drives a Suburban. At some point I may end up with a 3/4 ton 8ft box F250 (OAL is 22ft I think). And I have a tractor that is 24ft long with loader and snow blower attached, and 27ft long with mower attached. I want room to walk around all the vehicles both in the front and the back, while at the same time have room for storage/ work benches/freezers/fridge/gun safes, etc both in front of the vehicles and along the opposite side wall from the house.
At first I was thinking 40x32 but once I measure the tractor I feel may be too tight, at least where the tractor sits. Would it make sense to make one bay deeper then the rest, or push it all back? How much deeper? I intend to put a 10ft high door in the tractor bay so i'm looking at 12ft walls too I suppose.
Floor heat
multiple drains
Big deep sink
Thinking of metal along the bottom 4ft or so of the walls to combat moisture. Or do the whole thing?
What else?
Does anybody know of any free 3d design programs where i can sketch it up with vehicles, benches, etc inside for size reference?
Thanks
