Garage door sizes?

[Vinny73]

Hi all, odd one... Moving home soon, new place has standard size 7ft wide garage doors, garage opens out once in, I've checked the dimensions and looks like the 370Z is 6.1ft wide. Anyone got any experience in getting them through tighter entrances? Measurements suggest there's 11 inches width available for it to pass through. My current garage entrance is easy as it's a big old wide garage, over 8ft at the entrance... Bit nervous with the tighter modern doors and frame.

11" is plenty, bearing in mind it'll open up wider once you're past the frame too.

It fits fine, mine is 7FT wide too

I know I am not in the same position as you because I have a wider entrance to the garage, BUT, I previously had up and over door, and always had to be careful with the framework from the door runners, etc..... So got rid and went for an electric roller door.

 

Got rid of all the frame work, rolls to the roof space, and more importantly, you can park with the ar$e end right back giving plenty of room at the front.......... Best £800 ever spent.

 

Of course, that assumes you have electric to the garage

 

Just gives you food for thought, definately transformed useage.
