Hello Byggahus!
I have an idea to eventually replace the doors in the double garage with one large door. The garage is a "low-built shoebox" with a low-sloping roof and a rim all around.
The tricky part is that I would then need to make the roof fully self-supporting, as it is currently broken in the middle over a steel beam resting on the "pillar" between the doors.
And to make it trickier, I don't want to raise the rim (which is currently 4 panel boards high, whatever that translates to in height). And the inner height at the wall is a full 210cm :|
Attached are the drawings of the garage.

Completely off topic, but why do you want to change the ports like that?

f91jsw: It might also work, but I'm wondering how big it needs to be in that case.
KoW: Because the gates are starting to show their age and are quite narrow (2375mm they seem to be). A 5500mm gate would fit if the middle is removed. If you have a good argument for keeping it as it is, I'm happy to listen =)

No, I don't have any arguments, no 
Just thought it was a bit funny to replace two working ports with just one just because...
And of course, it requires major changes in the supporting structure if you do that.
Is it worth it?

You actually gave me something to think about, I thought the doors were non-standard measurements, but now I see that it's not just 2500mm that's available, but there are also 2375 and 2400mm (the door openings are 2440mm so the latter should fit).
One advantage of not having a large door is that you can partition one half and still have a door open if you want to do something dusty.
I need to make sure to request some quotes for two small or one small door.
Currently, the doors are 45-year-old up-and-over doors that no longer roll as they should, and they are very drafty.
