Length depends on cars, check a Volvo Estate.


Indeed - my V70 (not latest model) is just under 16' including towball. I
wouldn't really want it to be a shoe-horn fit though.

Double doors are 14'
wide, and you need at least two lengths of brick either side.


Are you saying that at (say) 9" per brick, that makes the width 17'? That
would presumably be the overall (external rather than internal) width
though? Or are you saying that you need 2 bricks either side of the door in
addition to the thickness of the side walls? If so, why?
