Tommy,  If you have a concrete floor , or are  willing to pour a footing for the doors to roll on , rolling doors are hard to  beat in the cost department.

 When I built my hangar (60'wide-40'deep) I made 3  doors from 2 1/2" sq. tubing to span a 40' opening (had a Seabee at the time)  bought the V-rollers from either Grangier or McMaster-Carr. Tracks on the bottom  were 1" angle welded side by side, spaced so the doors would clear by an inch.  (Don't forget the siding when figuring this dimension   )Top tracks  were 1" angle as well that  nestled into side by side spacers welded  to the top of the door. Covered with matching siding. If I recall I  had less than $1000 in 40' of doors.  Have fun!   JB

My buddy and I are going to put    doors on our hangar down at our little country airport (25A).  I think I    saw somewhere a picture of some doors that were divided into 3 or 4 foot    sections and slid along a track.  Our problem is two-fold:  1.     we spent all our money building this plane and, 2.  we don’t think we can    build a barn door type opening  that would be strong enough.        

    

Maybe someone can offer a    solution?
