My garage space is a little uncommon, but it had an 11'-14' high ceiling and a large sectional garage door when I started working on it. I put my lift in the 14' high area and installed a suspended ceiling at about 9.5' everywhere else including around the garage door. That was when I decided to have a disappearing garage door. In a nutshell, the garage door rises through a slot in the suspended ceiling and disappears above the ceiling when open. The tricky part was suspending the ceiling tiles in the space beneath the open garage door. As they can't be suspended from the ceiling, I had to install a long support beam above the ceiling and below the garage door rails.
