The Carriage House Doors Calgary Prefers

Carriage houses, now used as detached garages or as homes, were once used to store – you guessed it! – carriages. One protected one’s carriage from the elements in the host’s carriage house (or coach house) for the duration of the visit. Back in those days, long before garage doors were automated, carriage house doors in Calgary featured swing-out designs fashioned from old-style mortise-and-tenon joinery. Pets or children caught unawares were in danger of being swept aside by a suddenly opening door.

 

These days, carriage houses are used as storage for a multitude of items, from snowmobiles to trucks to lawn mowers and sometimes even relatives one wishes to “store” away from the estate’s main house. While some carriage house doors are manufactured to appear like the swing-out doors of bygone years, our carriage house doors actually are one-piece overhead doors with a bit more of a fanciful design than the run-of-the-mill overhead garage door.
