What does DG mean in HOUSING & AMENITIES

A double garage is a two-car garage with two doors, typically used to store two cars or larger vehicles such as boats, SUVs and trucks.

A double garage offers more space for storing larger items compared to a single garage, allowing you to organize and protect your belongings better. It can also provide security for vehicles by preventing theft and vandalism.

The cost of building a double garage depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, local labor costs, material costs and any extra features you may add (e.g., windows or an attached room). Generally speaking, however, the cost can range between $20,000 and $50,000.

Aside from parking cars and other larger vehicles inside, some people also use their double garages for storing tools and equipment, creating workshop areas for various projects or even setting up home gyms!

Yes! Depending on the existing structure of your single-car garage and local building codes in your area this may be possible. You'll need to consult with an expert contractor who can evaluate if transforming your existing space into a double is feasible.

Regular maintenance should be done about once or twice each year to keep it in good condition. This includes cleaning out the inside of any debris or clutter; inspecting the roofing materials; painting any exposed wood surfaces; lubricating door hinges/tracks; checking weatherstripping around all doors; ensuring proper ventilation; making minor repairs as needed; etc. Having an organized storage system in place can help make maintenance easier over time too!

Insulating your double Garage will help reduce heat loss/gain throughout the year which can lead to lower energy costs as well as increased comfort during hot/cold seasons. It will also reduce noise levels from outside which many homeowners appreciate if they plan on working on projects in their garages from time to time. So depending on how you plan on using your Garage it might be worth looking into insulation options that best fit your needs.

Depending on where you live you may need planning permission for building a Double Garage -especially if it's attached to another part of your house — so always check with local authorities before getting started with any construction work.

Lightning rods are designed to protect buildings against lightning strikes but they won't do much when it comes to protecting against strong winds or storms in general (which is why we recommend consulting an experienced engineer when building/renovating any structure). However adding additional reinforcement such as steel cables anchoring frames together could potentially help keep everything safe in case of severe weather conditions.
