You can't have a 13' eave and a 13' door at the same time. The truss to post connection takes at least a foot at the top of the wall and if you have that door in the side wall, it may take a 2' tall wooden beam to hold the roof up.

Three years ago I went around getting bids and my drawing with specifications clearly said 14' door height but virtually every salesman quoted a 14' eave until I kicked his posterior pointing out I really wanted 14' to clear the top of a fifth wheel trailer or a combine.

Road obstacles like cable TV and telephone only have to give 14' so machinery may not grow much taller and still move, though I've seen discussion on other forums that point out it is nice to have the trusses high enough to allow folding up the combine bin extensions or to fold a field cultivator or vertical fold planter inside which can need to move the bottoms of the trusses up to 16 or 18' above the floor. Or to have room to work on the combine cab roof from the outside.
