A car turntable is most useful when the site makes safe forward-facing exit difficult. Before pricing or drawings are requested, collect a few basics: surface type, driveway grade, vehicle size, available diameter and where controls could be located.

For homeowners, the goal is comfort and safety. For builders and architects, the goal is to resolve vehicle movement early enough that the driveway, garage and frontage design can work together.

Early questions to answer

  • What vehicle needs to use the turntable most often?
  • Is the existing surface concrete, asphalt or part of a new build?
  • Is reversing currently unsafe, awkward or simply poor for the property experience?
  • Are CAD files needed before the project is documented?
