Tandem garage plans are detached garages designed to save space and accommodate long and lean strips of property or narrow lots. They make the most or the available space by providing auto storage with extra deep bays. The extra deep bays allow room to park two or more cars one behind the other. Most tandem garage plans published by The Garage Plan Shop are at least 38’ deep and can range in size from a single tandem bay to two or more tandem bays positioned side-by-side. Other tandem garage plans might offer one or two tandem bays attached to one or two single-car bays.
