overhead door track type

[v8only]

hey there i am building a new shop and now is the time to pick my overhead door track type.

I will have 3 - 10x10 doors in a 12' tall wall BUT i have cathedral ceilings in the shop so in the center i have 14'.

So my question is what works best should i have them go up as high as possible then follow the cathedral ceiling 1' below so that i have room for lights OR should i just do a standard lift and have them level off at 11'?

below is a link to help you visualize what i mean.

Standard lift: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2029938/Architects-Specifications/standard-lift.pdf?t=1493220174932

cathedral ceiling lift: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2029938/Architects-Specifications/incline-pdf.pdf?t=1493220174932

the shop is 30 x 40 with the 3 overhead doors on the 40' wall the center door will have a 4 post hoist.

Let me know what your thoughts are.

thanks

Go with the follow the roof line track. This will allow you to add a lift down the road or move long items with out hitting the door..

I'd say follow the cathedral ceilings. Just my .02

Follow the slope.
The factory directions will give you room to use a normal track type opener.
