Converting a clear span chicken shed into my workshop/machinery store,due to head height a roller/sectional door is out of the question,not a fan of exterior roller doors,so I was wondering is there anyone out there making electric automatic sliding doors for the exterior.I cannot seem to find anything.
Another option is a hydraulic swing door,yes I know they are probably expensive but I've approached a couple of companies,but not one has got back to me,amazing 🤬
It not a massive door 4.9 wide × 4.7 high.

Not entirely sure what you mean by head height but it appears you have a fair amount. Anyhow have you looked at a bi fold door. Pretty popular here for workshop doors as the are a lot cheaper and require less internal space when open.

Well, a hydraulic swing door would be probably the best option for you, I think you need to try to get a quote from companies in this field, even if they are not answering, try one more time

I've had several companies quote for roller/sectional doors and they have all said the door needs to be on the exterior,the interior is just not has high as it looks,especially when I want my combine in the shed to store.
Thanks for the tip on bi fold doors, you guys across the pond know how to make proper doors.
