I am building a garage for my XJC
The access road is 10ft wide
Does anyone know how wide the garage door needs to be to be able to drive straight in without manoeuvring back and fourth ?

Cheers

 

Simplest and savest way to find out is, try it on a Supermarket parking place with three
marks(Bags or Stones) and a measure tape....


First, set two marks for the 10 ft wide road and one mark for one end of your garage door. Drive the car through the 10ft wide (road)marks and then turn into your garage door, stop the car and measure from your Garage door end mark until the other side of the car wing. For security and backwards turning angle add minimum 3ft to that result and you will have the width of you garage door. Or mark that other end of the door with a 4th stone and try backwards out of the Garage into the road.

 

Thanks Brett
Good tip
