Standard Widths for Single Garage Doors
Single garage doors generally come in standard widths to fit a range of vehicle types and garage sizes. The most common widths are:
- 8 feet wide: Suitable for smaller vehicles or garages with limited space.
- 9 feet wide: The most popular size, providing ample space for most cars and small trucks.
- 10 feet wide: Offers extra room for larger vehicles and easier entry and exit.
These standard sizes help accommodate a variety of vehicles and make installation easier, as many garage door openers are designed for these widths.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Width
Consider your vehicle size, garage space, and any storage needs. If you use your garage for both parking and storage, a wider door may offer more flexibility. Additionally, if you plan to upgrade to a larger vehicle in the future, a wider door can be a beneficial choice.
Custom Width Options
For unique garage layouts or specific needs, custom-width doors are also available. Custom options allow you to tailor the door width to fit larger vehicles, recreational vehicles, or unique garage spaces, though these may require additional installation adjustments.
Height and Clearance Considerations
In addition to width, also account for the height and clearance requirements for your garage door. Standard heights for single garage doors are typically 7 or 8 feet, but taller options can be customized for larger vehicles or taller garages.
