what size door in shed for a deuce

[croftonaviation]

while sitting here waiting for my euc to come back I am planning a new equipment building for my farm. It is going to have several bays, one of which will be for the deuce. What is a good size door for getting a deuce in and out. I don't plan on having a tarp and bows if that makes a difference. Thanks for the advice.

I have a 12 foot door, 14 feet wide. Never a problem with that size.

My deuce with a standard cargo cover and big tires is only 9.5 feet high.

The resources section of this site has all the vehicle dimensions that you could possibly need to answer your question... All you will have to do is decide how much of a "fudge-factor" you want to add for side clearance... AKA How sober will you be when backing the Deuce in

I would make the door big enough for a five ton.

Build the barn, leave some loose studs on one end, back the truck up and drive through. then add a foot on each side, and there is your door size.

YES! Make it big enough for a 5 ton shop truck. You never know when you may want to upgrade.

8' wide x 9' tall is just enough to get a deuce with cargo cover through.

12' x 14' tall works well for me

Really shouldn't go less than 12' X 12' or you could run into side clearance problems with the mirrors.

Don't ask how I learned this....

Ok, I've got to ask since you left it hanging out there

When I put up my first equipment barn I had a 12' X 10' rollup door in the front. When it was all done I went to back my dump truck and trailer in, the trucks mirrors wouldn't go thru the door.

I was so concerned with the height of the door, I overlooked the width.

So that's now the horse barn and I put up another for the equipment & OD toys and yes it has a BIG door.

10x10 is a squeeze. I'd go 12x12 at least. I have 2 10x10 roll up doors and a 12x12 slider. Its just a little less hassle with the 12x12.

thanks for the help. I am also gathering that although a 10 high building would work go for at least 12 feet. thanks.

Buy the door then frame to fit it. Will save a lot of money compared to doing it backwards.
