I'm building a 32'x48' pole shed this summer. Two garage doors. One being for two trucks side by side (16' or 18' wide) and one 10' to get the tractor or whatever out.
I was trying to decide between a standard 16' door or upgrading to a 18' door. With it being open inside I wonder if a standard door would be ok being able to pull in to the side more so you aren't hitting each other vehicles when you open the door. With a standard garage probably much more of an issue. What do you guys think? 16' or 18' doors for the vehicles?

Any meaningful difference in cost? How tall is the door?

I have 18x8 and 10x8 on my attached garage at home.
I will never go smaller again. Love the wide open space it provides.

Yes definitely a cost factor. Not only in the door but headers and such.
10' high doors.

Drive through doors are great.

FWIW, the builder who I know personally says a 16' door is good wit the open area.

If you regret the 16', how much will it cost to upgrade? The answer is "way, way more than it would cost to do it now", so that means it would likely never get done, so factor that into your decision making process as well.

I'd go with 2, 10' doors on the end for the vehicles and a 12' on the side or other end for the equipment, or vise versa.
