My first problem was that i could probably build doors just fine but there is brick on both sides of my garage door opening.

Making a garage door wider.

I love to make things myself and especially saving money doing it myself. For a shed the best size for installing a garage door is 8 x 14 feet. As for the height it is 7 or 8 feet. A wider door also permits more natural lighting into.

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. Widening a garage doorway may be completed in less than a day. In order to easily drive your vehicle into your garage you may need to adjust the width of the opening. If you have an rv the door can go up to 10 feet.

That s a good size for most of us but what if you happen to have a large truck with large mirrors projecting from the sides or a snowplow on the front. We needed a replacement garage door and i perfer one that swings out so i can use. It is also a good idea to have a 3 foot wide door to the exterior on the side of the garage. The single 16 foot wide 4 9 meter wide garage door is large enough to allow two cars to fit.

Even so the posts were only like five bucks apiece so you could use them to help plumb in a not so vertical opening or for just. 2 a double door. 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. For a garage attached or detached from your house of around 18 x 24 feet most popular width for a garage door is 16 feet.

Then the garage door would be 6 x 6 6. A wider door also permits more natural lighting into the space when the garage is open allowing you to easily locate items.
