Great write up, and project. Well thought out.... the extension of the house ties it all together.
My carport is exactly 12 feet.... with no doors. If I had roll-up/overhead self storing doors I couldn't get mt TC through the opening. With sliding "barn" doors 12 feet openings would be sufficient for my TC's air conditioners 11foot plus height.
To the readers of your post....
Fit and scale are a real dellimia on these projects.... My friend Tom built a super garage with 14' roll up doors and a gable roof to match his 3 story house (the floor is at basement level with 1 1/2 open stories above the top of his RV's )... It was scarry to go up in it... the lights were so high that they didn't furnish enough light at ground level to be able to see the difference between phillips head screws and any other types. A couple of tractor trailers or Greyhound Bus's would fit in it... it was totally out of scale with his house... and his upscale neighborhood.
