Hey Bowser - Another consideration to get the hieght is to build a stem wall. While this may seem very apparent I completely overlooked it when building my shop.

If I were to do it over I would again build my slab 6" above grade (N. FL), go with a 2-3' stem wall atop the slab, fill the cells with concrete and finish the top.

"Redhead" anchors which held my uprights. The doors can then be ordered to length. FWIW
