9x8 Roll-Up Door
A wider residential garage size designed for full-size trucks, SUVs, and comfortable single-vehicle access with extra side clearance.
Durable steel construction, multiple color options, and built for long-term performance.
What Is a 9x8 Roll-Up Door?
The 9x8 roll-up door provides a 9-foot wide by 8-foot tall opening — one foot wider than a standard 8-foot garage door. That extra width makes a significant difference for full-size pickups, SUVs with mirrors extended, and vehicles with wider wheelbases.
This size strikes an excellent balance between a standard residential door and a full 10-foot commercial opening. Homeowners who own full-size trucks or plan to use the space as a workshop often find the 9x8 to be the ideal size.
TruGlide 9x8 roll-up doors are constructed with a minimum .016" steel (27 gauge) curtain and 18 gauge galvanized tracks, delivering the same commercial-grade build quality in a residential-friendly format.
