Double garage sheds protect two vehicles under one roof while providing extra storage space for tools, equipment, and belongings. Park two cars side by side with room to open doors comfortably, and use the remaining floor area for workshop activities, shelving, or secure storage that stays protected from weather.
These structures are perfectly suited to standard residential blocks where you need vehicle protection for two cars without taking up excessive yard space. Fair Dinkum Builds constructs double garage sheds using Australian steel and portal frame engineering. You specify the dimensions, door configuration, roof design, and features during planning. We handle council requirements, engineering documentation, and installation, delivering a garage that accommodates two vehicles plus whatever additional storage or workspace your property needs.

Why choose a double garage shed
Double garage sheds work well for two-vehicle households where you want both cars protected from harsh Australian conditions. The two-bay layout provides dedicated space for each vehicle without requiring constant shuffling when someone needs to leave. You get secure space for both cars plus room along the walls or at the back for storage, workbenches, or equipment.
The enclosed structure protects vehicles from sun damage, hail, bird droppings, and weather exposure that would otherwise cause paint fading, interior deterioration, and rust over time. Keeping two cars garaged extends their lifespan and maintains resale value compared to leaving them exposed to the elements day and night.
Double garages also provide functional storage space beyond just vehicle parking. Use the area above cars for overhead storage, install shelving along walls for tools and equipment, or dedicate the rear section to a workshop or hobby area. The enclosed building keeps everything secure and organized in one location rather than spread across multiple sheds or storage areas.
The standard double garage footprint fits most residential properties without dominating the available space. The building provides substantial covered area while leaving room for yards, gardens, and outdoor activities. This balance between functionality and space efficiency is why double car garages remain the most popular choice for suburban and regional properties.

Common use cases for Double Garage Sheds
Property owners choose double garage sheds for situations where they need protected parking for two vehicles plus additional storage or workspace.
Two-vehicle households: Families with two cars use both bays for daily parking. Each vehicle gets protected storage, and the remaining space along walls or at the rear holds tools, sporting equipment, or outdoor furniture. The enclosed structure keeps everything secure and out of weather.
One vehicle plus workshop: People park one car in a bay and use the other as dedicated workshop space. The workshop section holds tools, benches, and equipment without interfering with vehicle parking. The separated layout means you can work on projects without having to move the car or clear space constantly.
Vehicle and recreational equipment storage: Owners park a daily car in one bay and store a boat, jet ski, trailer, or motorcycle in the other. The double garage accommodates both standard vehicles and recreational equipment that needs weather protection between uses.
Home business operations: People running businesses from home use double garages to separate work and personal vehicles. Park a commercial vehicle or ute in one bay, use the other for materials or inventory, and maintain clear separation between business and personal items.
Car enthusiast and project vehicle storage: Enthusiasts park a daily driver in one bay and use the other for a project car, classic vehicle, or restoration work. The double garage provides space to work on vehicles while keeping the daily car accessible and protected.
Storage for growing families: Households with children use one or both bays for vehicle parking while dedicating wall and overhead space to family storage. Sports equipment, bikes, camping gear, and seasonal items stay organized and accessible without taking over the house or yard.
Rental property additions: Property investors add double garages to rental homes because two-car parking is a standard expectation for many tenants. The garage increases property value and rental appeal, helping attract quality tenants.
The versatility of double garage sheds means they adapt to different needs over time. What starts as two-vehicle parking can evolve into workshop configurations or mixed-use storage as requirements change.
Common sizes for Double Garage Sheds
Double garage sheds come in dimensions that suit your property and what you're storing. Certain sizes are more common because they provide adequate room for two vehicles plus working space.
6m x 6m (standard double garage): This size accommodates two standard cars parked side by side with enough room to open doors and walk between vehicles. The 6-metre depth suits most standard cars with space for front or rear storage.
6m x 7m or 6m x 8m (extended depth): The extra length provides room behind parked cars for storage shelves, workbenches, or equipment. This configuration works well when you need functional storage space beyond just vehicle parking.
6m x 9m (workshop depth): The 9-metre depth creates substantial space behind vehicles for workshop activities or extensive storage. This size suits properties where the garage serves multiple purposes beyond just parking two cars.
7m x 6m or 7m x 7m (wider bays): The increased width provides more comfortable room around parked vehicles or accommodates larger vehicles like utes. The extra width also allows for side storage or workspace alongside parked cars.
Custom dimensions: Your double garage shed gets built to your specifications. Your Fair Dinkum Builds representative will work through dimensions that suit what you're storing, your property boundaries, and any council restrictions. For detailed information on sizing, our garage dimensions and sizes guide explains clearances and layout considerations.
