How to raise a garage door header.

Now i want to raise the door 21 inches by adding another panel to my rollup door. A temporary support. My garage is 23 feet wide and when we installed the header we ran the header all the way across the width of the garage so the header is 23 feet long. These 9 foot openings are only supported by a makeshift header consisting of 6 cinder blocks sitting horizontally across the top of the opening.

How do you propose to. The wife wants to replace the two with one 16 overhead garage door. It is possible to install larger garage doors to give. I have a single car garage with a standard sized 8 x 7 garage door.

Instead i pulled the truck into the future garage door opening as shown in the drawing. Raising garage header height. Mine only shows about 3 and 3 4 rows. Older homes have smaller openings for garage doors making it more difficult to fit modern vehicles in.

Raising the header is only part of it. We had a few contractors in to give us estimates. However the header is low. We have an old cinder block garage shed building built in 1967 with 2 9 foot wide garage door openings.

For example everyone else s raised panel door reveals four rows of squares. The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep. The big job is raising the header 21 inches. Last pull a measurement from the top of the 2 x 6 piece of lumber that you just installed to the ceiling of the garage.

The 2xs support the cribbing necessary to raise the header to the desired height. Next i cut the header to length and rotated it 90 and onto the upper rail of the rack.

Then i removed all the aluminum coverage off of my garage door frame and had a 2x10 header over the door but like i said the wall is a gable end with a load bearing truss so i didn t really need that big of a header if any.

Cut a 2 x 6 piece of lumber and nail to the face of wall exactly in the center of the garage header. I removed a total of two inches from the header. The garage door header supports the floor and or roof above. It is going to be difficult to raise the entire 23 feet so i was.

The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof.
