How big is your door?

[benzu]

I'm 6'3'' and my wife is 6'0'' and was wonding what size of door would be a good size. Currently I have a 40''h x 30''w I did a paper pattern of it and hung it on the wall, but I still don't know if it's too big.

Help please

With the 5' walls it would be fine IMHO.

I would make my doors high enough to jump up and down in. Not really but if you sit on a chair and have someone measure to your head and add a couple of inches it should work. Remember when you come out of the door you will either raise up or duck. Mike ducks (6'1") I am the one who hits her head.

On a 5' high tear, 40" should be fine. Mine are 30" X 36".

Mike...I'm 6'2" 240# and have 28 x 33 doors...they are fine for me. You are taking the right approach however in making a paper one and putting it up against the side of the tear...My opinion, but I think it's important to make it all "look" good and that things are in proportion in relation to the front of the tear, fenders roof and bottom...Doug

I have a 5x10 under construction and my doors are 36" x 36". Checkout my album to see how they look.

Mine are 26 wide, 36 tall.
4x8 teardrop.
I'm 5ft9, 160.
Curved door takes a bit away from dimensions but they're still more than ample for me.
