I used 2 sets of door hinges (just lowers) and a bunch of scrap lumber. you'll need about 4 1/2 inches off the wall (3 2x4).

Thats a cool idea. My doors generally end up leaning against the garage.

Just a thought
If you have about 12 inches next to the garage door and the wall you might be able to stack the doors next to each other in that spot.

what hinges are those? All I got is tiny interior hinges. New ones are around 8$ at home depot and I don't even know if they are the right size.
