I’m trying to decide whether a single-car garage will be enough for me long term. Right now I only have one vehicle, but between lawn equipment, bikes, and a workbench, things already feel tight in my current setup. I keep going back and forth on whether going bigger is overkill or actually smarter down the road. For those who went with a double-wide or Mega garage, what pushed you in that direction instead of sticking with something smaller?

I was in a similar spot a couple of years ago. On paper, a single-car garage looked fine, but once I really thought about storage, tools, and having room to move around, it felt limiting. We went with a Mega-style double-wide and it made a huge difference. One side is basically parking and the other turned into a workshop plus storage without everything feeling jammed together. Seeing layouts like the ones on https://storageshedsandgarages.com/prefabricated-garages/double-wide/mega/ helped me realize how much usable space there actually is, not just empty square footage.

From what I’ve noticed, people often underestimate how fast extra space gets filled once it’s available. Even without adding more vehicles, hobbies and projects tend to expand into whatever room exists. Planning ahead usually saves rearranging or upgrading later, especially when outdoor storage starts doubling as a workspace or general utility area.
