30x32

[bird8904]

Hey guys, i'm new here, but have been reading for a while. I'm soon to be building a 30x32 with a 16x8 door. Just wondering if anybody this setup or something close to it I could see a pic of. I'm worried that the 30' will look weird with just a single 16' door. Thanks

Welcome to the GJ from downunder.
I the door is centred it should look ok, I don't have any pics but I am sure someone out there does.

personally id put the door as far to 1 side as possible then your vehicles can be pulled in as far to the side as allowed and not be near all your tools,storage and benches. it also leaves 1 giant storage space versus the space divided in half

I agree with 1slosvt. It seems like the space would be more usefull.

Put in an 18' door. Then put it over to one side and put a man door in.

I built a 24' x 24' with a 16' door to one side. The door was 1' off the south wall. It looked and worked great.

This is how mine is. I'm glad I went with an 18ft door instead of a 16, those 2 extra ft make a big difference when backing stuff in at an angle towards the other side.

Here is a link to a picture of a 30'x48' with a 16x9 OHD that we built a couple of years ago. http://www.stoneburnerinc.com/gallery/detail/job-11082

I am new to posting, but have been lurking for quite a while. I just built my 30x30 garage with 12' ceiling this last year. Still need insulation and finish up some other things, but I put a 18x10 garage door on the front that is pretty much all the way to one side. I will see if I can put some pics up.

Put in an 18FT door and make the building at least 10Ft tall with a 9Ft high door,you will thank us all later. And yes put it to one side so you have work space on the other side.

I agree with those who recommend an 18 ft door. Makes it much easier with two cars.

Yeah, my father in law said i should put in a 20 footer. I guess i left out the part where i'm scrounging for materials on Craigslist, and found a great deal on a 16x8 insulated door w the opener so i bought it. I want to off center it, but when i ran that by the wife she didn't go for it. Anyway, thanks for the feedback guys. I'm looking to start this thing in a month or so, and i will post some pics.
