Garage Door Framing Page 2 of 4
In my area, for 2 x 4 walls with 1/2" sheathing, a 2 x 6 is used for both side
and head jambs. This allows SPF #2 lumber to be used and then wrapped
with aluminum for a maintenance free finish. When held flush to the inside
of the garage wall there will be 1 1/2" sticking past the door opening to butt
the exterior finish against.
By the time the jamb is applied the garage door framing size should be the
same as as the door. If the door is called a 16' x 7' then the opening should
be that size.
All garage door headers should have double trimmers (cripples) due to their
length and amount of weight bearing on them. Adding up the four trimmers
and both side jambs plus the width of the door will give you the header
length. For a 16' door the length would be 16' 9 "s. The header height using
this method is 1 1 /2 "s higher than the door, from the concrete floor.

Garage Door Framing Tips
Install side and head jambs after the wall is in place. Leave side jambs 1/4"
off concrete floor to prevent moisture wicking and rot.
If using 1 x material for side and head jambs, reduce header length and
height accordingly.
Never use treated lumber for door jambs, it will rust the steel and eats
holes in aluminum.
