Hi,
I have an existing 80' wide building that I am going to expand by 40' for storage and to eventually house a 2 post lift. I'm mainly looking for help placing garage doors in the most appropriate place. Here is what I have so far.
Pardon my crude drawing. The 10' door at the bottom connects to the existing building which is air condiitoned but the new area will not have A/C. The 14' door on the right will lead to an area where trucks unload so the fork lift can be stored in here. The 10' door on the left leads to a parking area and I might consider eliminating this door if it makes the space much more usable. The red boxed are supposed to represent support columns so doors can't go there. The green boxes are supposed to be regular doors. The gable end is actually the 80' side. It's red iron construction. The upper left quadrant of concrete will be 6" and the rest will be 4" but I could have that changed as well.
My main concern is where on the walls to put the doors. Should they be as close to one side as possible or toward the center?
Thanks for any advice or comments.
