I looked and looked but could not find a video focused on how to frame in a garage door.. until I happened across this. Thank you fine sir. Questions answered.
Oh my God! Thank you! This was so helpful! I've been stressing for days to figure that part out before brick goes around the garage frame and so many questions were answered in this video.
The question all DIY people have is what size opening to frame for and finish for. IOW, what are the actual size of the panels and are all mfgrs standard there? Does a 9 ft door give you 9 ft of finished opening or something less? How much head room is needed above the opening for standard hdwr and what can you get away with using low clearance tracks?
This video was great, but I wish you had added the rough opening size. Most manufacturers say 3"s wider and 1.5"s taller than the door, and the doors are sized at what they say such as 8 x 7, which makes our opening 8' 3" x 7' 1.5". I find that height is good but it's a hair too wide and you then have to build out that frame on the exterior so that the gaskets seal properly. I've done 1 garage door in my life, last night, and that was the only information I couldn't find anywhere, other than that it was a piece of cake. The opening can't be too small or the wheels will bind, but it shouldn't be so wide that the exterior has to be built out for the gasket to work, there must be a happy medium...
The sheathing must be flush with the outside of the foundation. That takes up 4" and the 2x6 brings the woodwork flush with the inside edge of the foundation. The Spruce jam (I use resawn Spruce) is then flush with the inside an outside foundation edges, and runs from the floor to the underside of the header. The center point and right and left side 2x6s all should be the thickness of the foundation wall. Some builder finish the interior face with 1/2" CDX or drywall. Add that thickness if you do.
I noticed, non-treated studs against the concrete, possibly a cripple stud? Some leave a 1/4" to 1/8" and fill it with foam or silicone to prevent rot.
How do we correctly install the sheetrock around the big garage door. There’s no videos so the door goes up and down with no damage or weathering on sheetrock.
I had to go through so many videos to finally find a real world example with good close ups. Thanks 👍

I like it good info. How many 8 foot tall door a do you usually run into?
It's been like 50/50 now a days. How many do you see in your neck of the woods?
Which would get installed first, the jambs or the house siding? Thanks
I think that depends on what kind of sidings you go with.
@@affordabledoorgatellc7391 same as above question, stone exterior
@@amyliu6749 I believe he did just vinyl siding
I need to start selling this
should have used 2x6 far side jams.
That’s what I like so yes I would
