Making a garage door taller.

And the headroom above for a taller door. I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years. 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.

For example i have a 9w x 7h garage door 4 21 panels. The door track should be easy as well. Begin by using a tape measure to determine the width and height of the door opening in inches. We had a few contractors in to give us.

With this kind of width and height dimension you would need garage of around 12 feet width and 12 feet of height 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. I have extra track etc. The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof.

I live in northern new jersey. The wife wants to replace the two with one 16 overhead garage door. 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. Anyone ever done this with success.

I need to cut the opening to the garage 6 taller. It has the old style carriage doors. That made my door height two inches taller. That is the easy project as the building is plenty tall for this.

Can i add an additional 21 panel to make a taller door. Double car garage doors typically start at 12 feet wide and move. 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.
