Making A Garage Door Taller

I have extra track etc.

Making a garage door taller.

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. That is the easy project as the building is plenty tall for this. The wife wants to replace the two with one 16 overhead garage door. The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof.

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. 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. I need to cut the opening to the garage 6 taller.

But even with the smaller trailers the dimensions you would need for garage of at least 10 feet width and 10 12 feet height. That made my door height two inches taller. Can i add an additional 21 panel to make a taller door. The door track should be easy as well.

Double car garage doors typically start at 12 feet wide and move. I live in northern new jersey. The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep. And the headroom above for a taller door.

We had a few contractors in to give us. For example i have a 9w x 7h garage door 4 21 panels. Just wondering if it would work to add a panel to a garage door to get more height. I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years.

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. With this kind of width and height dimension you would need garage of around 12 feet width and 12 feet of height door. Travel trailer also come in smaller sizes and they may need smaller door.
