Triple Garage Doors
Triple Car Garages: Triple car garages usually have multiple garage doors with a post between them for structural support. The configurations commonly used are: Three single car garage doors, one single car garage door, and one double car garage door.
Large Garage Door for Triple Car Garage: Currently, there are no standard sizes available for installing one large garage door on a residential three car garage.
Standard Garage Door Requirements
Garage Door Opening: Make sure your garage door has a minimum of 6 inches of headroom. If you plan to use roof racks, cargo holders, or have an extra large vehicle, you may need more space.
Ceiling Clearance: Leave 14 - 18 inches between the top of the garage door and the ceiling to accommodate the garage door opener.
Vehicle Parking: Allow at least 2 feet of space between each vehicle parked in the garage. If you use the garage for activities or storage, consider additional space for items like lawn & garden tools and sports equipment.
Building Codes and HOA Requirements: Check your local building codes and homeowners association rules for specific garage door size restrictions, as well as any limitations on colors and designs.
Seek Professional Assistance: To ensure the best outcome, involve a garage door professional from the beginning of your planning process.
Standar Garage Door Size Costs
Cost Considerations: Installing a single large door for a two-car garage is generally cheaper than having two separate single-car garage doors. However, this cost difference depends on your garage's current architecture.
Custom Garage Door Sizes: Opting for non-standard sizes for your garage door will increase the overall cost. This includes the door itself and specific components like track, springs, and other parts.
Increasing Garage Door Size: Expanding the size of your garage door will significantly raise your expenses. To accommodate a larger door, you'll likely need to rebuild the garage or raise its roof. This type of project requires the involvement of a contractor or architect, along with a garage door professional, to ensure the structural changes maintain safety, security, and weatherproofing for your garage.
