There are many kinds of double decker vehicles out on the road these days: big U-hauls to bring people’s belongings from place to place; giant sixteen-wheelers that cart various products (including produce!) all across the country; trailers or mobile homes that can serve as nice vacation or adventure vehicles for families; double decker transport buses or tour buses; even some super souped-up pickup trucks might actually count as “double decker” if their shocks are high enough.
So what does all of this mean, exactly, for homeowners and consumers of garage doors? For most people, likely not a lot. There are still a lot of people out there who very much will prefer to just stick with their sedans, or their two-car sports cars, or their sports utility vehicles. Or their minivans, convertibles, or motorcycles even. All of these types of cars should do just fine with a standard sized door. So for those people, a normal garage door will do just fine.
But for people with large garages who want to store large vehicles, be they buses, trailers, huge trucks, or even something like horse transportation trucks, they’re going to need not only a garage that can fit such a behemoth, but a door that will let it pass through!
Getting your hands on a non-commercial double decker garage door isn’t easy. And truth be told, many of these doors don’t come in all the same fun variations as a standard sized door. For example, carriage-style double deckers are rare, and so are wooden ones. (Unless you live on a farm and have a barn house, but then that’s not a garage anymore.) Most will likely come in aluminum, alloy, or poly-blend types.
So make sure that if you’re going to invest in an over-sized vehicle, that you’ll have a place to store it! And if you plan for that place to be your garage, make sure you have a door that will fit it.
