I want to push out the front of my garage 3' and install new garage doors and do not know the required width of the centre support column, nor the two end wall columns.
Garage width is 19' 6"
2 garage doors are 9' wide ea
Therefore only 1'6" for the centre column and end bearing columns
Part of the plan is to construct this garage door opening so that I can add a second story to the garage for living space. The new opening therefore has to have the capability to support the additional structure
Garage is attached to the house
The existing garage is 2x4
When pushing out the front 3' do I need 2x6 or is the old 2x4 code applicable?
The new storey above the existing garage can be 2x6 if required
