I prefer Solid doors, better security and easier to paint, hate cutting in, especially to glass, someone told me to paint right into corners and over the glass, wait for it to dry, then use a flat scraper to clean paint of glass, didn't work that well, had to clean with thinners.

I too built hinged doors to replace a roller shutter. Much better!

I built my own double opener doors, having removed the failed up and overs..
I've never had a garage with that height space though..

My current 16ft boat wouldn't fit though , it's got a 3 foot fixed keel and weighs 400Kg, 500 with me on board.

Something similar, builder goes to get a ton of sand, when they tell him the price, he says, its twenty pounds cheaper down the road, merchant says, get it from there then, builder, says they haven't got any, merchant, says, well when we haven't got any, you can have it for that price.

Remember painting and varnishing in a garage with the only exit being up and over doors, used to have to squeeze out under the part closed door to avoid stirring up dust from the door and mechanism

Many years ago a friend of mine was planning a new garage, he had a building suppliers and dealt with a local garage door company so asked "Do you have any slightly damaged up & over doors that you can sell me cheap? If so let me know the size and I'll build the garage to fit." they replied "go ahead and build the garage then let us know what size you need and we'll damage one to order for you"  LOL

Double doors are useful, you can throw a sheet over the top and extend your work space, no mechanicals to go wrong either.

When my garage door needed replacing I splashed out on hinged doors mainly because of the roof storage problem. But they've turned out to be more convenient in other ways too, so I'm very pleased I did it.

the electrics lasted many years but sadly haven’t played unicycle hockey or done any off road unicycling for a while, my ankles are a bit dodgy from longboard and drinking accidents Cry
