When designing a new home or garage it is very
important take the time to consider what
garage
door sizes
will work best. It is important not to
assume that you will only need a standard size
door. Once you have made the decision it is more
or less irrevocable. In addition you also should
consider increasing the size of your garage and
that includes the height of the garage walls as
well.

It really is hard to beat an oversize garage.
Even if you presently own only a single medium
size car you should seriously consider spending
the extra money to make your garage larger and
that includes the large
garage door sizes.
Standard
garage door sizes include 8’x7’ and 8’
x16’ sizes. The oversize garage door pricing will
pay dividends. These sizes will accommodate a
medium size care comfortably but not a large
SUV or ordinary pickup truck. In many cases an 8
foot high just will not give a pickup enough
clearance vertical clearance and many times the
trucks mirrors will not make through the 7 foot
width.

If you work with your builder and architect you
will find that it will not cost that much more to
increase the garage wall height. Doing so will
give you a lot more options in terms of the
capability. A garage with 10 high side walls will
easily accommodate  9 foot
garage door sizes. So
why do you need a 9 foot garage door? If you
have a pickup truck you will sooner or later have
it loaded with a high load and that load will easily
make it into the garage and out of the weather. If
you load up the roof rack of your SUV with a
luggage box in most cases it will not clear a
standard 7 foot high
garage door sizes.

When it comes to
garage door sizes width is also
a critical consideration. If you own a boat or utility
trailer you will find that they are frequently close
to 9 foot wide. This means your toys are going to
be sitting out in the weather because they are too
wide to fit through the standard 7 foot wide door.
Even a person who handles a vehicle and trailer
well will appreciate the extra width of a 10 or 12
foot wide door when back up the load into the
garage. The extra width
garage door sizes may
also keep people from banging your truck mirrors.

In many cases people will opt for the standard 16
foot double
garage door sizes. These doors do
give you the width you need to back in your
pontoon boat and other wide loads. Again having
a 9 or 10 foot high door will allow you to back it in
without taking down the bimini or hard top. The
best garage doors are the ones that let you have
complete access to the interior of your garage.

In terms of
garage doors pricing designing and
building an oversize garage is a good investment
in the value of your home. Even if you never use
the garage to its full potential it will appeal to a
larger market when it comes time to sell your
home. Using large
garage door sizes will allow
the next owner to store all his or her toys in the
garage. Spending a small amount of money to
oversize your garage may increase the value of
your home substantially.
