Garage Height?

[Big Orange Basser]

Standing is nice, I wish I had made my door 10’.

Definitely go as tall as possible to allow for head clearance and I would suggest ceiling fans above the boat for those fishing in the rain days. Extra heigth won't hurt your noggin just your wallet.

I went for a 15 ft ceiling. I planned to put a 2 post lift in someday and finally did it 2 years ago. I'd think 10 ft would be my minimum if if I didn't need the lift space.

I wish I would have put Cathedral ceilings in. Ceilings are 9ft, love to have a 4 post lift on one side of the garage

I have a 7+ ft garage ceiling... I wish it was taller.

Can you even touch the ceiling when standing in your boat, Mike?

I'm kidding!!! You know I love ya, buddy.

You can stand in boat with 9' ceiling?

I am not over 6ft. Tall and can not stand in my boat with my 9 ft ceilings. Maybe can in the floor of it but know I can't on decks. Guess it could depend on type of boat. My garage/shop was here when I bought this place. If building a new one,I would have a ceiling high enough for a lift. That would really need to be a minimum of 12.5 ft. If just to store a boat I don't see how standing in your boat could be super important.

I have 10' wide doors and a 12' foot wide door in my shop. If you have room install 12' wide doors. They are so much easier to get a boat in and out of.
I need to be lined up very straight to pull out of 10' wide door with ease.

My boat house is 9 feet tall I can stand up easily

I have a 9' ceiling. I can stand up in my boat which is nice. Still have to be mindful of the garage door if it's open and the light fixtures. Still gets me once in awhile

Same exact thing here. 9' will do it. Just remember that the door hardware is lower.

Just built mine, 10ft ceilings, 3 courses of block and 8ft framed. I opted for two 9x10 doors. I can stand on the decks with no problem and I’m 5’9

[jbassman87]

My old boat garage was 8' ceilings. There is reason i built the new one with 10' ceiling

[crawdadking]

My garage is 10ft ceiling with 8x18 door. Plenty of room

[stratos284]

I have 8 foot ceilings but I had scissor trusses out in.
Its 11 and a half foot at the center.
My boat is parked at the side and I can stand in the deck and clear my head.

You are all very lucky . I am 5'8" tall and have a ceiling height of 5'10". At least I do have a garage .

Usabassin - I just reread your edited post - Are you looking at a stick building or is an enclosed carport an option?
