ᐅ Is a 5-meter sectional garage door suitable for a clear opening width of 4.75 meters?

Hi, quick question to the group,

We have a masonry garage with the following dimensions:

Outside:
Width: 6m (20 feet)
Length: 9m (30 feet)

Inside:
Width: 5.39m (17.7 feet)
Length: 8.325m (27.3 feet)

Now to my question. Sectional doors measuring 5m x 2.25m (16.4 ft x 7.4 ft) are significantly cheaper than ones sized 4.75m x 2.25m (15.6 ft x 7.4 ft). Since it seems like I have enough space inside, I was wondering if it would be alright to just go with a 5m wide door.

Is there anything you would advise against from your perspective?

Good luck,

No, I have done that too.
Not as wide, but still wider than the driveway.

What are the rough opening dimensions of your gate?

It will work at least with Hörmann; I cannot say how the rails are routed with other manufacturers.

The opening in the masonry is 4.76 meters (15 ft 7 in). Brick cladding will be added on the outside and also to the reveal. However, in my opinion, this shouldn’t affect anything if the tracks are installed inside.

And is a car or two supposed to fit in there?
