Garage door styles for traditional homes

plans for attached garages
Single width garage doors

Doors come in a variety of styles and many sizes.

Those shown are chosen to compliment traditional home styles. They work well for a country home, barn, workshop or carriage house.
Single width garage bay doors are typically 9'-0" wide but may be as small as 8' or wider than 9' when required.

Typical suburban garages feature 7' high doors but we recommend 8' for pickup trucks, vans and today's popular SUVs. For special equipment, Boats, and RVs you should obtain actual dimensions.

In addition to the height required for the doors, you should plan for an additional 1'-6" from the top of the door to the underside of the garage ceiling, to accommodate door tracks and electric openers.

Doors that open out are also available, see listings below for good sources.

 

Check with your local building supply company for specific style available to you, see links below.
Garage doors come in insulated and uninstalled.  Insulated doors cost about 10% more but are a good choice for an attached garage or a garage that's used as a workshop or might some day be heated.

Here are some links to our favorite garage and barn door manufacturers:
