CT vs Parking in 19 ft garage with door struts

[machmax]

Machmax even blurry that is crazy. Want I would like to know is how you or your misses gets in and out of the car or truck. It sure does not look like you have any real space to open the doors even 1/2 way.

I know I do not have a Cyber but when we had our home built years ago I had them do the garage 24' long and put in extra 2' wide side raised walkways on both sides. Being a custom built home I had that freedom and just cost me a bit extra but not that much. They just did the forms a bit bigger/longer.

May post a pic if you want. But they really have come in handy many times.

Now that I look at the pics again I can see why you asked. The shadow inside the garage is a little deceiving. What you see when the cars are parked outside is sort of the space I have less maybe 6”. I park it with side windows folded. So you can actually walk in between the cars, somewhat sideways but not completely. The fenders also make the space in-between (the doors) even narrower. But it only works if parked facing opposite directions.

My garage fits it fine, but this is genius. Might do this anyway to make parking easier! Thx for the amazing idea

Wish I can give you blueprints but honestly I just kinda winged it and I’m sure your garage is probably setup somewhat different than mine. One thing you don’t see in the pic is I put ball roller casters underneath so I can either kick it out of the way or flip it up when not in use. Got it from Harbor Freight.

We always parked our two vehicles opposite ways as well... makes one "wide" aisle for the driver instead of two narrow ones!

My issue is the same as yours, but I just use the front and rear cameras. First I turn on the front and sides, then when I get close to the front, I swipe to the rear camera to make sure I'm inside just a few inches from the garage door line. Works every time - I hung a little wire in the front which should be right in the center of the camera when I park. Been doing it now for a year.

So finally got tired of getting in and out of the truck to keep checking the front and rear clearance in my garage. Tried the laser thing, tennis ball from the ceiling in the middle of the garage is an eye sore, parking stoppers have to be bolted to the floor which I didn’t want to do but what I did have is plenty of wood from previous home project so why not craft something. Attached is what I came up with and I can flip it up when not in use. Also works every time.

Anyone else came up with something different?

I was doing the same thing but got tired of it. Now I just pull straight up, I still use the front camera and not drive abruptly but it’s one and done.
