Roll-up Door Suggestions

[bigleo48]

All,

I've slowly started detailing services. At this point, not enough business to justify building a separate shop. So I'm looking at installing a roll-up door to close one SS bay when we are detailing in the winter months. The idea is to have the door open and operate as a SS bay when no detailing activities are scheduled.

So the opening is large, 12'x12' and it needs to roll-up in order not to interfere with SS booms. Manual control is fine. It does stay dry where the door would be located.

Since detailing is not a major money maker (at least not yet), I'm looking at cost effective solution. I was thinking of a Mini-Storage type steel door as they are the least expensive, but perhaps vinyl would be better, albeit more expensive.

Suggestions?

You can get an inexpensive door from a self storage company. I actually installed one over my entrance door. They come in all sizes. I was able to get mine from my local garage door company. The door is all metal and rolls up so it will not interfere with your booms.

I have the same size opening and found that 12x12 is expensive. I think 10x10is pretty standard commercial wise. I framed mine in a little bit with treated lumber and wrapped in coil stock. Still cheaper than a 12x12 door. Then again maybe you detail big jacked up trucks and this would not be an option.
