Estimated stall count

84 stalls

Low confidence

This is a rough site-planning estimate using a simple rectangular double-loaded layout — actual capacity depends on your specific lot shape, ADA-accessible stall requirements, landscaping islands, one-way vs two-way aisles, and local zoning code minimums, which a civil engineer or site planner accounts for in a real design.

Stalls per row
21 stalls
Double-loaded row pairs
2 pairs

For the dimensions entered, expect a estimated stall count of 84 stalls. Of the working steps, stalls per row dominates at 21 stalls. The confidence rating here is low. Get the figure confirmed by a supplier or a qualified trade before committing to it. Set for United States. The market selector changes the units and the trade terminology; any standard behind the formula is cited under sources.

Estimated cost — your price

This site holds no price list for this material — local prices vary too much to publish honestly. Enter your supplier's price and the result is costed with it.

Preliminary estimate, not certified engineering. This tool produces an indicative quantity calculation for planning purposes only — it is not a certified structural analysis, a guaranteed material takeoff, or a substitute for building department approval. Always verify measurements on-site and have a licensed contractor or structural engineer review any load-bearing, code-sensitive, or safety-critical work before purchasing materials or starting construction. Spotted an arithmetic or standards error? Report it to contact@craftquantities.com with your inputs — a confirmed fix gets a permanent check of its own, so the same mistake cannot come back.

Presented in US customary units and US trade terminology. Where a formula follows a published standard, that standard and its edition are cited beside it on this page; where none governs, the page says so. Local amendments override model codes — verify against the code in force where you build.

Regulatory standards & verification citations

  • Standard parking stall is commonly 9 ft x 18 ft with a 24 ft two-way drive aisle between double-loaded rows — a widely used general site-planning guideline

Frequently asked questions

Does this account for ADA-accessible stalls?
No — accessible stalls need extra width and an adjacent access aisle, and most codes require a minimum number based on total stall count. Subtract a few standard stalls and add appropriately-sized accessible stalls to a real layout.
Why 9x18 ft specifically?
It's a commonly used standard stall size in North American site planning, though some jurisdictions and lot types (compact stalls, angled parking) use different dimensions — check your local zoning code for required minimums.
Does lot shape affect real capacity a lot?
Yes significantly — irregular lot shapes, required landscaping islands, stormwater features, and fire lane access all reduce real-world capacity below this simple rectangular estimate. Treat this as a rough upper-bound planning figure, not a final design.
