I added doors to the front of my open sided machine shed a few years ago. Used single track for two doors. I added track out past the ends of the shed so the doors could open that way and have the whole side of the shed open at the same time. I'm not sure that was such a good idea. When open, the doors are susceptible to wind.

I use these roller brackets to keep the doors from uplifting with a gust of wind. I will be adding 10 foot of rail, after the Mallard hens hatch their nest of eggs right inside the tin that has to be removed for the rail track installation. The door, when all are open, will hang out 2 feet past the building. I have a gate there also. I will have to cut the gate down 6 or so inches and install a post. The post will also help support the door in gusts of wind.
hugs, Brandi

Seems like I've seen bright orange faceplates and outlets somewhere before. I never really thought about it before, but seeing how well it shows up in your shop, I can see how smart it is to do this.

When I enclosed the shed on the barn, I went ahead and bought a 10 foot door rail, 10 foot of flat to corragated tin, and a white door track cover. After the hot summer we are having. I attacked removing tin and installing the rail. All in four hours.

the bright orange are usually hospital grade generator outlets. Lets people know what outlets are generator backed up

Building dated now but here Red Outlet with or without Red cover plate on stand-by power.

Orange is Isolated Ground for sensitive electronics/instruments which was popular with new builds in the 90's

Green Dot is Hospital Grade.

I'm Hubble throughout patient care areas and in 25 years not one has gone bad... expensive but quality...
