Trying to fit a boat into one side and need the extra width. Plus taking the camaro up the steep hill and having to gun it up in that narrow opening makes me nervous every time.

I kind of like the two doors you have now! However, I do understand that the two doors are kind of a pain... Beautiful house! :cheers:

is a boat going to fit in there? how deep is the garage?

One side goes back two car lengths so it’s technically 3 car garage I guess

I'd contact a structural engineer who can design an appropriate solution then ask the contractors to bid to the design. You'll need permits and the issuing agency will want "stamped" structural drawings from a licensed PE.

Totally agree.

Here’s a couple renderings of what it would look like.

Just a suggestion- store the boat locally and not have to fool with your garage doors.

Daniel

are you looking to put a 18' wide door in?

If just a 16' I would reconsider...

Years ago I built a 24X28 freestanding garage. My wife wanted two separate doors, I wanted a single 16' wide. It is a pain to park two cars side by side using the 16' door. Why are they always right, lol...

Just an opinion, your situation may be very different...

A few things.

a standard two car garage door is 16 x 7. Going wider is doable, just remember that all the materials for the engineering on these garage doors are based around 16', going wider means more weight, more stress on the hardware and materials. Tread lightly, use trusted and old companies for the manufacture.

Using an engineered beam or steel is the only way too go across the head. It's super easy, and reasonable, for an structural engineer to do, which then makes the permitting and installing (spec) a piece of cake.

Hope this helps, mike
