Making Garage Door Taller

Travel trailer also come in smaller sizes and they may need smaller door.

Making 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. 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. Older homes have smaller openings for garage doors making it more difficult to fit modern vehicles in. Double car garage doors typically start at 12 feet wide and move.

The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof. It has the old style carriage doors. 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. But even with the smaller trailers the dimensions you would need for garage of at least 10 feet width and 10 12 feet height. The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep. We had a few contractors in to give us.

It is possible to install larger garage doors to give. I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years.
