Garage - making a double width door
I am building quite a large garage and I've had a 14ft wide Henderson door
(unused) that i bought a while ago intending to use it on the much delayed garage. Unfortunately, it blew over onto a garden bench and received a hole peirced in the skin. I'm also starting to desire a 16ft wide door. Budgets are getting tight now - as always... So, I could repair the piercing and mount the door. Or, I could try to build a 16ft door (brickwork's not started yet). Does anyone have any experience of building a wooden up and over door of this size? Would I be able to use the spring, etc from the 14ft door (adjusted for the extra weight)? Or, is it just too hard and too heavy? I was thinking of tongue and groove floorboards on a wooden or metal frame. Thoughts? Thanks in advance Paul |
