Looking at building a detached garage to the side and back of my home. Unfortunately, when I take into consideration the 5' setbacks on the property lines, the big space I had in mind gets really cut down. I have more length than I have width. I am looking at a 16' garage, with I suppose a 14' door. I was thinking of getting a scissor lift as well. Is this workable with two car side by side? Should I just put the scissor in the center, rather than to one side? Anyway, just seeing if anyone has any experience or advice.
Thanks |

When I built my garage in 2000, the city of San Antonio let me build my side wall on the property line of the alley, and my roof hang 2' into the alley. The only caveat was that I had to use 2 layers of sheetrock as a fire wall on the alley side. They could never tell me why, but I told them it was silly for me to put a fire wall for the alley, but it bought me the a couple of extra feet. I'll remeasure my garage tonight. I got a 16'? front door and 8' roll up on one side in the back to pull through.
