16×8 is the "tall double" garage opening — the same 16-foot width as a standard double garage but a full foot taller at 8 feet. Builders started specifying 8-foot-tall doors around 2010 to accommodate full-size trucks, lifted SUVs, and roof-rack vehicles that don't clear a 7-foot opening. If you have a relatively new home, an aftermarket lifted truck, or a garage that was custom-built for taller vehicles, 16×8 is almost certainly the size you need.
At 128 sq ft, the 16×8 has 14% more coverage than a 16×7 — that extra foot of height makes a real difference when you're using the garage as a workshop and want full headroom with the screen down, or when you're parking a tall vehicle and still want to be able to close the screen behind it. The motor and tube are sized accordingly, and the side tracks are 96 inches tall to match the taller opening. Don't substitute a 16×7 if your opening is 16×8 — the screen will leave a one-foot gap at the top and won't seal properly against bugs or weather.
Measure the inside of the rough garage opening with a tape — width across the threshold, and height from the concrete floor to the underside of the header. If the height is approximately 96 inches (8 feet), you have a 16×8. If it's closer to 84 inches (7 feet), order the 16×7 instead. Adjustable side tracks accommodate minor variations of an inch or two, but the screen size must match the opening dimension.
