What is a Tandem Garage?

A tandem garage is a type of garage where one car is parked directly behind another, rather than side by side. It typically has space for two (or sometimes more) cars in a single, elongated bay.

Key Features:

  • Single garage door: Often just one entry point.
  • End-to-end parking: One vehicle blocks the other, so the car in front must move to get the rear car out.
  • Space-saving: Useful on narrow lots or in urban areas where lot width is limited.

Pros:

  • More parking in less horizontal space.
  • Can be used for a car plus storage, gym, workshop, etc.

Cons:

  • Inconvenient for daily use if both cars are used frequently.
  • Limited access to the rear vehicle.
