Good morning. I have a new garage going up next week. 24x31 with 12 foot sidewalls. .... If some one has the following set up and knows this height I would appreciate having it passed on.
I will just add a note to do the math before you build! Just measuring the height 'inside' the garage is not an end all be all that you will be able to get 'in' the garage!
incline vs height.
We measured and measured the height of the RV on a flat surface. Made sure the door ordered would accommodate and then some the height.
They poured a small apron of concrete to the entrance of the garage........the 'very slight incline' PROHIBITED my RV from ever entering the new garage that was built just for the RV.
So don't just measure an RV on flat ground. Take into consideration even the slightest incline whether it be a concrete pad or just the added height of dirt built up to the foundation to make the building level. It WILL increase the height of the approach thru the door.
My RV never saw the inside of her new garage because of the very slight incline to the door.:(
