If your home can accommodate a larger garage door and you d like one make sure to get a track extension kit with your garage door opener.
Make my garage door taller.
I would also go a few feet taller this would allow for a taller mudroom whose roof would actually clear the edges of my back door.
I had a 2x6 on the flat under the header so i just removed that and cut a half inch off the header.
It is possible to install larger garage doors to give.
Not worth it unless you have a lot of extra money at your disposal or bigger plans for your garage in general going through the construction simply to enlarge your garage door is probably not worth it in the long run.
The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof.
Older homes have smaller openings for garage doors making it more difficult to fit modern vehicles in.
That is the easy project as the building is plenty tall for this.
The current breezeway cuts the corners of the door frame.
I re framed it and raised it up and installed high rise garage doors.
The garage door frame should be stretched a bit to allow trucks and busses to pass under it.
I need to cut the opening to the garage 6 taller.
Additionally as a short cut you could simply disable colision when the door is in the up position allowing large vehicles to simply pass.
The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep.
An alternative would be a pocket garage door that slides sideways on tracks from within the garage door itself so that again the height or width are not effected.
My garage door was so short a stock jeep on 31s couldn t even fit in.
We had a few contractors in to give us.
I removed some siding and and re did the trim on the top of the door and then recovered every thing with aluminum and installed new rubber garage door sill around the opening.
That s because when the door is opened it needs space against the garage ceiling to rest or else the inside of your garage will actually be smaller than the opening of the door.
This would be closer to 10 000.
It has the old style carriage doors.
Currently in order to acomplish this the door must be positioned ontop of 2 hcubes which allows players to simple crawl under the door defeating the whole purpose.
That made my door height two inches taller.
Knock the garage down and build a garage that s fully attached to the house.
Because of the way garages are designed they usually aren t built with space to grow meaning they only have just as much clearance as is required to fit the original door.
I paid for new doors installation and he spent about an hour or so helping me finish framing them and i think my bill was around 1100.
The door track should be easy as well.
So if you have a 7 foot tall garage door the depth of your garage shouldn t be shorter than 7 and a 1 2 feet.
I live in northern new jersey.
