Standard overheads come in 7 ft (84 in) and 8 ft (96 in). Many custom as well. Check Wayne-Dalton, Amarr, Clopay. http://www.hpgaragedoors.com/blog/garage-door-sizes

So your issue was with the DH dealer not the product?? Any concerns with the Genie opener as you suggested Liftmaster? Thanks

I have decided to let a company install my doors. I have looked at Clopay, Wayne-Dalton and others. I did find company called the Overhead Garage Door Company. Almost seems like a franchise operation from what I find on the web. Any info on them? I have been told they actually own...

I am enclosing a pole barn. Here is my problem: I am putting in 2 garage doors. There are 2 end supports and a center support in place right now. Total width is 24 feet. Originally I wanted to get 9 foot wide doors. Each opening is 136 inches. So a nine foot door means I need to enclose 14...
