Making A Garage Door Taller

With this kind of width and height dimension you would need garage of around 12 feet width and 12 feet of height door.

Making a garage door taller.

I live in northern new jersey. I need to cut the opening to the garage 6 taller. The door track should be easy as well. Just wondering if it would work to add a panel to a garage door to get more height.

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. 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. That is the easy project as the building is plenty tall for this. Anyone ever done this with success.

It has the old style carriage doors. Travel trailer also come in smaller sizes and they may need smaller door. The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof. I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years.

The wife wants to replace the two with one 16 overhead garage door. Can i add an additional 21 panel to make a taller door. And the headroom above for a taller door. That made my door height two inches taller.

Double car garage doors typically start at 12 feet wide and move. The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep. For example i have a 9w x 7h garage door 4 21 panels. 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.

We had a few contractors in to give us. I have extra track etc. 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.
