Currently building my 2 car garage (wife insisted we also attach a house to it....women...what can you say...) and due to various architectural, structural and deign constraints I might have to narrow the door width.
The plan is to have a 16.4 ft door (5 meters) and I might need to narrow it to 14.7ft (4.5 meters) to be able to keep the springs close to the entrance instead of over the middle of the garage
I've got a Jeep and a Miata or the wife's econobox to sit in the garage, so the cars are not that big. Would the narrower door be something I'm going to bitch about all the time? Previous single-car garage had an 8.2 ft door and it was alright for the Jeep.
And some pics just because :D
Going to have a recessed lift and a ditch
Crude sketch of some of the stuff in the garage. This is the larger opening:
The opening between the concrete pillars is 17.3 ft now.
