Misc lumber. I'd guess you could get away with under $500 for nice, permanent barn doors.

Save your money and buy a proper overhead door. The 16' wide and 11' tall overhead door on my pole shed was $1100. What you are thinking of making looks like it all cost significantly more money then that.

when I priced a new door a year ago the plain Jane version, was in the $1300, and with some windows and insulation it was in the $2000 range, and commercial opener is in the $500 up range, so a new roll up door would be in the $2500 range, for what I want,
I am figuring about $500 for the door it self and about $100 for a power opener, and if want a boat winch would work, all self made,

IN our area nearly ever steel building being used as a shop get rid of the rolling doors as fast a s they can and either replace with a bifold or a roll up with opener,

I have three sliding door in the 10 by 10 area, and none of them seal up and they all work hard unless there just oiled, and have had to rebuild the rollers on one of them,

I do not know how many farmers are picking up and trying to put them back on after a wind.

and on roll up door there is not a practical way to put in a walk in door, and the main shop does not have a walk in door, have to enter a shed, so a walk in door in the large door would be helpful,

and my idea with the solid door and more than half of it in side the building and supported in 4 points, I think would be less suptable to the wind and only being basically 3" thick in the normal direction the wind normally hits, will do more thinking about first tho,

I have seen a walk in door in a overhead, but not a roll up.

Back about a century ago when I grew up, tilt doors were used.

this is basically what I am talking about for a one piece door,
but a little different system on top, a arm that swings over, that changes the door so little of is working it way in side the building, and lift up instead of back, about half in and half out,

but I like the drawings you posted,

I got my hand caught in the spring on one of those when I was a kid.

You also need to make sure that you have the safety cables through the middle of the springs for when they break. My old neighbor who was in his 80's had a spring come apart and it put a heck of a dent in the rear quarter panel of his car. Probably would of done him in if it had hit him. Then of course your door hangs down on one side until you replace the broken spring.
