Making Garage Door Taller

The wife wants to replace the two with one 16 overhead garage door.

Making garage door taller.

The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof. Travel trailer also come in smaller sizes and they may need smaller door. But even with the smaller trailers the dimensions you would need for garage of at least 10 feet width and 10 12 feet height. Begin by using a tape measure to determine the width and height of the door opening in inches.

Standard single car garage door widths start at 8 feet for single car garages and move up in 12 inch increments to 10 feet wide. Because garage doors are usually sized to snugly fit the dimensions of the garage itself making the door larger usually means making the garage larger. I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years. The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep.

Measuring a residential garage door is more than determining the dimensions of the door but making sure the garage can accommodate a garage door opener and the door in both open and closed positions. It is possible to install larger garage doors to give. I live in northern new jersey. One way to do it would be to get wall extensions for the entire the garage and then cut the roof of the garage off lifting it up to the height you want it.

With this kind of width and height dimension you would need garage of around 12 feet width and 12 feet of height door. It has the old style carriage doors.
