That is a framing style I have never seen before
What is it called?

nice framing work.
Is that 3020 hard to start in the winter? My 4020 definitely is when the temps drop into the 20s, which is nothing up there.

Thanks.
The 3020 starts great in winter. I don't need to use oil pan heater until about 0 degrees F. It is a gas engine tho

How far apart are your studs that make up your walls?

Anybody have drawings or point me in a direction for sliding doors.

Looking to have two five foot sliding doors over the 10 foot door way
Anybody have drawings, pointers, or good website links?

Metal tubing frame with tin sheeting is light and durable.
Or a 2x4 frame with 3/8 ply wood gussets in corners and sheeted tin.
If you want all wood sheeting, it will start getting heavy, maybe 1/2 plywood with batten strips for a better look.
Buy the best track and trolley system you can find.
I have done them as described on three different building and all have work well.
Another option is v groove rollers on the bottom riding on an angle iron track set in concrete.

Your project looks good and your on the home stretch...

On second thought, weight is less of a concern on a five foot door.
You may consider 1 large single door. I think they are a little more stable and easier to secure and just 1 frame to build.

For the doors, use ship lapped rough pine.
Cut boards the height needed, enough for the width of both doors.
Lay out enough boards for each door, clamp tight, one door at a time.
Cut boards to go across the top and bottom of the doors, both sides of each door.
Cut boards to go between the top and bottom boards.
Cut some boards for a center cross, an X or just one board, to keep the door square.

I would use a good waterproof adhesive and screw the boards together but nails will work too.


The door is made of just some ship lapped rough cut pine boards, you can use 3/4" or 1".

thanks for the ideas. I was thinking two five footers so doors will be easier for the smaller ones of the household to operate... so i dont have to feed horses everyday!

Kind of, but not really. It looks like you used plenty of wood on it and you where not shy about blocking. I'm thinking that with the trusses holding up the rood, the end walls wont be that big of a deal not putting a header over the open span. I'm at a loss why you didn't?

You can made the door any width you want.
As the doors get wider the support cross bracing needs to get larger but five feet should be no problems.
Build them yourself, order up some sliding door hardware and go for it.
I am buying a steel,building, 10' x 10' main door, I am building two doors, 5'6" each, out of 3/4 rough cut pine with either 3/4" or 1" bracing around the outer edges on both sides of the doors and cross bracing. If necessary I can use a threaded rod with turn buckles to keep the door from sagging.

Wooden doors like the attached in my last post are easy to make, just make sure things are squared up make them a little wider to cover sealing.

Good Luck

The door pictured are the ones I am building not the actual doors.
The picture is from the web, just showing the OP what I was thinking.

Still an easy build, just takes time and patience, make sure things are square.

The new shop is not in but will be shortly, just waiting for the house in MA to sell to get started.

Looks good! A little bit of trim and the outside looks like it will be wrapped up. Are you doing a dirt/ gravel floor or concrete?
