Do you want to roll them up like a roller door or have them fixed as a Yorkshire boarding alternative ?

We have some fixed ones (Bayscreen) and they are very good & cheaper than the Galebreaker alternative. We bought them from Kevin @Great In Grass

They'd be Secure Covers from @Great In Grass

If you want a technical raising curtain for livestock building sides, take a look at Air-Koe from Intershape

We're on making some Yorkshire boarded top doors because galebreakers will struggle to fit above the door ways and have too much that can go wrong with them for my liking. They're also blimmin expensive!

@Great In Grass might be able to help

Yes but steel and timber are no longer cheap.
What percentage money can you make a top door for, compared to Galebreaker?

It's more about simplicity and longevity, and been able to fix stuff that appeals more than cost tbh - that and we're a bit tight for overhead clearance

Fwiw, I agree. Usually an awkward gable corner entrance, or something that doesn't lend to a good straight run to tension up.

Did a costing exercise last year and mesh was a fair bit cheaper, 20%, and a lot easier to fit on a big span.

did a building with this four years ago, works just as well imo, has eyelets along top and bottom in thread thin wire rope through and tension off either end post, and tack fencing rail vertically either end and fasten to same posts. Seems very durable I have pressure washed it in situ and lets more light through than galebreaker

Ok for a semi permanent install, but a pita if it needs to be open and closed a few times a week

I see a lot of these plastic affairs ripped to shreds after a few years really put me off. Is it abuse or do they only last 5-10 years?

It’s stops rain better than Yorkshire boarding, just get a gentle breeze through it and 150 foot of shed covered for under £50? If you want something you can open and shut all the time be prepared to pay through the nose and the mechanism not to last very long

I've "secure econoblinds" on bays that get opened 2 or 3 times a week. Been up for several winters now, work really well. Amazing how much drier and warmer the sheds are, but still plenty air to prevent pneumonia

Rope and pulleys slide the blinds in tracks that are fixed to shed H beams. Need patience to put up, but despite the somewhat "cheap" fixings, they're surprisingly robust (I've twatted one when hungover with the dung grab with no ill effect)

They were also a fraction of the price of anything else I considered
