9' wide x 8' high doors. Put car in middle bay and you have plenty of room to work on it. The best thing we did is the in-slab radiant hydronic system. If you are interested and I'll send you info on DIY install. If feasible, design enough headroom to allow for double decker car storage.

  - Is the door opening that has the high-lift door the same size as the other two? - SparTTan 2015-04-07 21:17:31 (219 views)
    - Yes, all doors the same - high lift makes no change to the opening or the door, just to the tracks - goTTwo - DEFCONs+ 2015-04-08 08:16:01 (242 views)
