New Shed

[7610 super q]

Just walked the dog past and took a few door pics

That door looks interesting, up and over, rather than a roller shutter ?

not sure it will fit 20,701 in it

if that was a squeeze 21,861 definitely won't!

 

[Clive]

do you need some logs to go in that log store at the front of the new shed

No shortage of fire wood while we have so much building work going on, spent sometime today choping it

Yes, have same on farm workshop, 8 years old now and no issues , much stronger and more secure I think. Open faster as well

 

[Clive]

The bottom pictures doesn't look like the top?? or is it roundtoit job?

Not sure what you mean ? It's all the same shed ?

Was there a lot more steel involved in the frame @Clive? We've got a job going on but decided to go with insulated rollers, as the door firms wanted a lot more overhead steel for sectionals.

sectional doesn't need more steel, they just hang the runners off the rafters/purlins

I've been told be 2 door firms that it does, they need a steel across the top to hold the spring apparently

I think insulated rollers are a better job personally and specced those on our recent shed. I've heard talk of the up and over doors being expensive to fix if someone has an accident.

My thoughts exactly!!

It looks a strong job....but a cordless grinder in the cladding or shutter door would soon make a doorway.

At the end of the day, you can only do so much....that's what insurance is for.

yes thats correct you need a door head to form the opening,then above this you need a spring beam usually a channel face on with a 180 mm min face to take the full width shaft and springs and centre bearings, the vertical door posts need to run continuous to the top level of the spring beam.You can have the door track horizontal across the top of the opening hung of the purlins , if it was me i would have a high lift door and the track fixed below the purlins following the roof angle remembering to allow for any lights you may want to hang from purlins , sectional doors like this are ok chain operated and do not rattle in the wind and are more reliable than a roller but will cost a bit more,if you are having one of these to a new building the steelwork needs designing to suit before hand

I would think less than £200 for steel required but the door will be a bit more money but will not need to be electric so a saving there

Insulated rollers don't rattle in the wind either.

Yes, we were told they work out about the same price as rollers but more for the steelwork, it's for the refurb job @Forever Fendt so there was a lot to add on already as they're on the side of the building.

There is a beam running across at the moment as an eaves tie, so they were trying to use that, but it would of meant having another post next to the stanchion, to bring it in line with the beam.
