What is the difference between an "expanded" garage, and the regular 2-car garage?

In our case because of lot size we couldn't go to a full three car garage. So we ended up with a 2 car + golf cart garage. Then the golf cart section got stretched outward 1.5' and 4' forward making it even with the two car garage. They labeled that an expanded garage.

I think they use "expanded" for anything that doesn't fit into their defined configurations. Two car. Two car + golf cart. Three car..etc... Basically anything that has been stretched.

We got lucky with the home we bought. 2 car garage with golf cart. But the garage was expanded 25 feet. The builders did it. We have a Ford King Ranch. Then on the side we have a trike Harley Davidson motorcycle and my car crossover parked behind it. And room to walk around.

There is no standard expansion.


The standard two car TV garage is so tiny it is difficult to park two cars and get the car doors open.

Usually the expansion is two feet (or more) across the width of the front.

Strange that they didnt make the garage two feet or so wider.

We had a "1 1/2 car" garage and had it "expended" x 4ft after we moved in. Would have preferred a GC garage but there was no room with the setbacks. and the 4ft just made it with about 12" to spare That was the only one thing I disliked about the place we bought. Now we can open the doors on the golf cart and the car. My suggestion to anyone who buys a 2/2 find one if it exists with a 2-car garage! My only wish now would be that the air cond wasn't there.

The expanded garage has been expanded...

Our unit is stretched 2 feet both ways. Wouldn't buy a 1.5 garage..

Unfortunately we have only a one car garage but may be room to add a golf cart garage to side. The air conditioning unit is on that side. Driveway is plenty wide to accommodate a golf cart garage. what would something like that cost and can anyone recommend someone to do the construction? I’m wondering if it’s worth the cost, the hassle and anticipated issues when doing construction.

And expanded garage is bigger than a two car garage.

A standard two car garage is 20ft by 20ft, anything be on that could be consider expanded.

When I bought my home they called my 2-car garage a "stretch garage". I told them it was a stretch to call that a 2-car garage.

Regular Expanded

I have one. It is a two car garage that has been expanded in order to allow a golf cart to fit in the garage along with two cars. It is a tight fit, but it works.
