Hey I think I may have found the home built hanger door for me.
I didn't want to get into the big swing up types and I also didn't (OK Amy ) didn't want wings on the side for regular sliding door 30 foot opening. And snow in the winter pretty much says no swinging 15 foot sections. But here is a cool internal sliding door. And the install manual pretty much shows you how to home build it! Of course you should at least check the price first!

Hi Kevin,
I saw that door in operation. It was very cool. As you know I need something like that, just don't have the money.

Me too with regards to the money, but look at the install manual. If you can build an airplane following a stack of papers, you sure can build this from the manual!

Hi Kevin:
I have that door. In fact the link:
http://www.cool-airinc.com/photo/isinstall/ is of my install of the door.
Somewhere on Dave's site are additional pictures of the completed install.
I love it, it really work easily, only takes about 6 inches off of each
sidewall. I built a 30 X 40 hanger and was able to have about 9 inches of
clearance at each wing tip with my Zenith 701. Snug fit but hauling it in
on the centerline was just never a problem. Dave sells the "frame" kit with
all the mounting hardware, you supply the sheet metal to match the outside
of your hangar. There are a lot more pictures on my web site showing my
hangar being built and the door being installed. Here is a link to the
hangar page: http://www.mykitairplane.com/MyHanger/index.htm Please take a
look when you have the opportunity.
Just to make it clear, I have no business connection with Cool-Airinc, but
am a very satisfied customer. Always find time to visit with Dave at
Oshkosh each year. Just another fellow pilot!
All the best,
George

Thanks for the info, the one thing I'm a little fuzzy about is the door section closest to the wall. Does it pivot towards the wall from the corner and then the rest slide past it on the track?
