Shed with garage door: Options available

Are you thinking about installing a shed in your outdoor space? You will quickly notice that the customization choices are numerous! Among these choices, the type of door is an important element to consider.  While single, double, glazed and paned doors are commonly used, and the shed with garage door is gaining popularity for its many benefits.

Discover in this article why a garage door may be the ideal choice for your garden shed, and the possible options to meet your specific needs.

Why choose a shed with a garage door?

You want to use your shed to store bulky objects or even a small vehicle. like a lawn tractor or an ATV? Here are the reasons why a shed with garage door can be a great option for your shed:

Better accessibility

The garage door makes it easier to store and access bulky items like a lawn mower, snowblower, garden furniture or even an ATV. Mounted on a rail, the garage door can be completely disengaged, freeing up access for easier travel.

Protection and enhanced security

To protect your belongings against bad weather and theft, the garage door offers no equal. With its sturdy structure and reinforced locking system, you will have peace of mind, knowing that your belongings are protected come rain or shine.

Well adjusted, at all times!

Unlike garage doors, hinged doors may require occasional adjustments due to movement (caused by freezing and thawing) of the shed on the concrete blocks. On the other hand, the garage door on track follows the movements of the structure, guaranteeing smooth opening and closing at all times.

A modern aesthetic, adapted to all tastes

Modern garage doors come in a variety of styles and finishes, with options including decorative windows, for example. A stylish garage door not only enhances the appearance of your shed so that it blends in with the rest of your home, but also adds a touch of charm and elegance to your backyard.

Shed with garage door: is it always a good idea?

However, if you don’t need a 6-foot-wide opening to get your belongings in and out of the shed, the garage door may not be your best option. In fact, a garage door can waste valuable storage space under the roof due to the track system and the clearance required. The double door can therefore be an advantageous alternative in certain cases, which prevents you from losing this storage space.

The 5-foot double door: an affordable and practical option

A more economical and practical alternative to the garage door: the 5-foot double door that conserves storage space on the ceiling. Although the garage door gives you an additional 12 inches of width, you need to ask yourself if this additional opening space is necessary for your needs.

Choosing the perfect shed door for your needs can save you money and improve your shed experience.
