2 garage doors

One main problem is that this house is right on the ocean front. steel, etc. will rust, and rust quickly. So, yes, I understand the problem. I am a bit stumped so to speak....... I like steel, and sheet metal, and pop rivets.... A door like this would have to be made out of stainless, and that just blew it out of the water...... hummm? I would love to try to come up with a wood airplane wing design, that is, modified, for the doors. Like these inexpensive hollow core have webs of cardboard....Now I would not go that route. Although structurally, and like a beehive, it is very strong, and lightweight.... ------------------------------------------------------------------ A quick search of "fiberglass garage doors" produced these people. http://tinyurl.com/m5wu45g Might be worth talking to them. BTW, stainless is exactly that, it stains LESS. Anything other than 316L isn't going to cut it. Bronze is a better choice for a marine application. Lew |
