Carriage House Door Headers


The opening and the ceiling are at the same height, so without modification a standard garage door won't work. Nor will the "quick-turn" short radius tracks.

So Johnny was here last week putting in headers that create the necessary clearance. They are all clear cedar, just like the doors and should last at least as long as I do...

The doors have been built and are being primed at the shop. The final coat of paint will go on in the spring. As will the paint on the headers.

The doors should be ready to install next week.

  1. When we build our shop (like 10 years from now - ha!), I would love to do it in a carriage house style that would fit in with the house. Finances may not allow this, though! We'll see.

    I love those current doors, as well!
