Garage door heights

[hoogy]

Looking to see if anyone has seen a overhead garage door that is 78 inches tall. Need this for john deere tractor. Can't go any higher cause of roof pitch.

Um, a standard 7' door is 84" tall... What are you putting the door in? You could cut down a 7'. A 7' should still fit if you have any kind of a header over the door. I would want at least a 10" header so the extra 6" of door would just live above the opening.

Standard overheads come in 7 ft (84 in) and 8 ft (96 in).

Many custom as well.

Check Wayne-Dalton, Amarr, Clopay.

That is a 6'6" tall door, commonly made up of two 21" tall sections and two 18" tall sections. We build them all the time, no big deal.

Thanks for your help. Don't need header as I am on the gable end . I have seven feet of height but have to have room for door track, What is the least amount of space between top of garage door and the ceiling. Thanks hoogy

Why don't you need a header on the gable end?

Ceiling clearance depends on whether you have an conventional opener or not. No opener and you can probably get within 4".

What is the distance from the floor to the ceiling at the ceilings lowest point, and what is the height of your tractor?

There is no weight. It will be carried by roof rafter. where the door is going on a shed roof.

Roughly 7 feet at the lowest point. The tractor needs six feet for clearance of the roll bar. that is when the roll bar is folded.

Yikes that's gonna be tight! might be further ahead to consider a slider or barn doors. You can build either.
