Hi
I have a carpot that I am converting to a full garage. I have the side wall finished and am working on the front wall where the garage door goes. What should the opening be for the garage door? I am not sure as I am planning on having a 16X7 garage door put in and I dont want the opening to be to big or to small-HELP!
Thanks
Mike

If it's a sectioned overhead door, then I believe the opening needs to be 16x7. The door dose not actually go into the opening, it closes behind the opening.
