The width of an opening you can create in an exterior wall largely depends on the wall's structure and materials. For load-bearing walls, it's essential to consult a structural engineer to ensure that the integrity of the building is maintained. Non-load-bearing walls can typically accommodate larger openings, but local building codes and regulations must also be followed. Always obtain the necessary permits before proceeding with any modifications.
