[QUOTE="Yellowyj, post: 637626, member: 3504"] I put 10'x10' roll up doors on the gable end of mine with 10' eave heights. Mine is a pole barn with wooden trusses spaced 2' OC, so I found a roll up door that would roll up between the first two trusses. I cheated the first truss an inch or so back from the gable to make sure I had clearance, but has not been an issue at all. Works great and still have two 10'x10' openings on the gable end. My shop is 40'x30' and I have approximately 6'8" on from the sidewalls to the edge of the doors and about the same between the two doors. I used a standard 4:12 pitch to match the pitch of the house and doors fit and work perfectly me. Our house is a one level ranch style house and my wife insisted that the shop didn't tower above the house so I compromised to not build as tall as I originally wanted. The shops sits back and to the right of the house and the grades there are slightly above the grades of the house, so the shops does tower over the house, but not in an overbearing way. Any taller and I would have had to deal with my wife wanting to redo our house (she has always wanted to add a second story anyway). I don't have a lift and it will be way on down the road before I could get one anyway, so no worries there for me. I have looked at and considered other possibilities for a future lift, so not to worried about if and when the time comes. Eventually I plan to add lean to to both sides and across the back for equipment/trailer storage or parking. [/QUOTE]
