Building a garage door is a project that requires careful planning and execution. The first step is to choose the type of door you want. There are three main types of garage doors: swing-out, roll-up, and overhead. Swing-out doors are the most traditional type of garage door, and they are made up of two or more panels that swing outward when opened. Roll-up doors are made up of a series of slats that roll up into a canister when opened. Overhead doors are made up of a single panel that slides up and down on tracks when opened.
Once you have chosen the type of door you want, you need to determine the size of the door. The size of the door will depend on the size of your garage opening. You also need to decide whether you want the door to be insulated. Insulated doors will help to keep your garage warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
