16 x 9 Garage Door

[Labbster]

My father in law and I are building a shop. It is 27 x 60. One half is going to be a wood shop and the other half is for my Bronco stuff. We are framing it in, and ready for garage door openings. 16 wide x 8 height insulated garage doors are $600. However, 16 x 9 doors are $1100. We are at the point of making the decision, but the price difference is obviously making me lean to the 8 ft. high door.

Anyone know of inexpensive 16 x 9 doors out there?

PS - We used 10 ft. studs which will make the ceiling about 10 ft. 5.

Try Conte Door also try Golden Fox Steel Buildings or Steel Building dealers out that way they sell those seperately. All fails Lowes and HomeDepot



PS does this apply to you?

BEGIN WITH PERMITS ISSUED 1/2/2004 Section R301.2.1 of the 2000 International Residential Code (IRC) and Section 1609 of the 2000 International Building Code (IBC) require that all doors be able to resist the design wind load for the structure. This is especially critical
for garage doors due to their large area. Effective with building permits issued on or
after January 2, 2004, DCA will verify that garage doors meet the required wind
loading. (PERMIT NUMBER CPBS 200426875 OR GREATER.)

This initiative has been developed by agreement with the Home Builders Association of
Greater Kansas City (HBA) and in conjunction with the Johnson County Building
Officials Association. It is anticipated that the majority of jurisdictions in the
metropolitan area will begin this verification at this time. The Door & Access Systems
Manufacturers Association International (DASMA) represents the manufacturers of over
95% of all garage doors sold in North America. DASMA representatives have been
directly involved in the discussions regarding this initiative.

The manufacturer’s installation instructions shall be provided at the jobsite for
inspection, along with evidence that the door has been evaluated for the appropriate
wind load. This evidence may take the form of any of the following to be provided by
the manufacturer: • A DASMA evaluation label attached to the door;
• A copy of an ICC Evaluation Service report; • A copy of a wind test evaluation per ASTM E330 or ANSI/DASMA 108, sealed by an independent professional engineer or recognized testing agency; or, • A copy of a ‘rational analysis’ sealed by a professional engineer.
The Kansas City area has a basic wind speed of 90 mph (3-second gust). For a house in
Exposure Category B, this translates to 12.8 psf positive wind pressure and 14.8 psf
suction wind pressure for a 9’ x 7’ door, and 12.4 psf positive wind pressure and 13.8 psf
suction wind pressure for a 16’ x 7’ door. Exposure Category B may be assumed unless
the site meets the definition of another category. (See IRC Section R301.2.1.4.)

are you talking about a self contained roll up door or a garage door i got a price of 775 for a roll up 16 x 8 the roll up doors need 2 foot of head room my walls are going to be 10 ft

I was going to just use a garage door. The lumber yard said I needed 15 inches clearance, and I will have that.

PS - I live in the middle of knowwhere so noone every comes out and checks codes. There are none! Thank goodness.

15" of headroom covers the track radius, add at least another 4" to that if you ever plan on running a garage door opener.

Do you plan on installing this yourself? if so 1100 sounds pretty high. I personally would not trust lowes or home depot to get this right. anything over 8' puts you into commercial hardware, and with some manufactures ribbed type commercial doors.

As for cheap, you get what you pay for. you can get an open back insulted door, cheap or you can get a sandwich type door. I would factor in windload even if you don't need it, kansas gets windy.
