    Raising 12' door on pole barn to 13' remotely possible?

    I'm considering purchasing a property that has this garage. The door is 12' tall. Is it possible to raise one of these at all to 13' to fit a RV in, or should I not count on it at any reasonable expense? I'm trying to get better photos of the interior facing the door side, but unfortunately...

    My new 1900 sq ft pole barn -- final opinions before I build?

    In my experience, overly narrow doors are annoying to back trailers into, and the shot won't be the straightest. I could change the 16' door to 14'. It is two foot off the south (left) wall, this would make it 4. I could also do two 12s. The 16' allows three bays of easy parking, but reality...

    My new 1900 sq ft pole barn -- final opinions before I build?

    I'm in the final stages of pulling the trigger on building my polebarn. 1) Too big for the lot (1 acre lot in Boise, ID?) 2) Where should I put the windows (if any?) 3) What do you think of the layout? 4) Would you change anything regarding the design? 5) Where would you put the lift ? how far...

    Lean to recommended width?

    I let some people park stuff. My policy is if its parked here, I get to play with it x times per year. works out.

    garage/shop -- 32x60 or 34x58 or 36x54?

    Thank you. Due to the RV, loading long wise will likely be required. Finding space is going to be hard, it's all over-grown weeds/sage now without vehicle access until I push over a storage shed. I might use a parking lot somewhere though.

    Lean to recommended width?

    Thanks for the input guys. While I'm up for minor variances of the 15' to a more practical number (whether that be less or more), I think most of the replies here say it needs at least 50% more to be of additional use. Due to the cost involved, I can only tweak it in minor ways at this time.

    Park trailer, vehicle, Rv, "junk" under.

    Lean to recommended width?

    I'm installing a lean-to on a 34x58 pole-barn with 16' walls. How wide should I make the lean-to? Is 15' optimal/adequate (IE: 15'x58')or larger than needed?

    Pressure washer

    If I buy another water sprayer, it's going to have heat. Someday.

    I have the same problem with the lift. Nowhere to put the damn thing.

    roll up door- pros and cons?

    Cons: I can never get the damn things to seal against dust.

    garage/shop -- 32x60 or 34x58 or 36x54?

    Decisions Decisions. Not sure what you mean though. I don't even know if the truck will fit with toy hauler. 28' RV (32' bump to bump) + 20' pickup. Plus a foot on the hitch. I'm sure even a 58' building doesn't come with a 58' bay. Fuzzy math tells me it will be close. This would be so...

    garage/shop -- 32x60 or 34x58 or 36x54?

    I guess I'm torn. I have to make a decision I can **** it up and do 36x54, I'll never get a trailer + tow vehicle attached but everything will fit and be 36' wide. Otherwise with 34x58 I retain that extra 4' and have a realistic chance of sequeezing in the travel trailer with a tow rig still...

    A 16wx12h and 12wx14h door is present. It's a lot of door (see first picture).

    Of interest, yours is side-load. Mine will be opened from the narrow end.

    garage/shop -- 32x60 or 34x58 or 36x54?

    A triple tow combo really can't be backed at all for that matter through such a door and it's not pull-thru, so the boat would come off anyways. It's going to hold any road legal RV right now. I guess the question is if it does it with the truck attached or not. 65' is max overall length...

    garage/shop -- 32x60 or 34x58 or 36x54?

    I can, I don't know what that would do to cost. The rv is a toy hauler... 28' but 32' bumper to bumper. Truck is 19' (ram 1500). Probably is 54' or so by the time you add everything. It's close, but I'd have to think other combinations (fifth wheel, motorhome) would be shorter due to...
