I know you probably never have snow, but I hated my slide by doors because if they are too close to the ground they stink, look around before you put the doors in, make sure.....

Extreme Veteran Posts: 452 Location: Alberta	You are doing an awesome job building all by yourself!! Can't wait to see it when you are done. Don't forget to get a guide rail/track for the bottom of your doors to keep them from swinging out. Ours run the same length as the top track so the door stays tight against the barn when open. We live in the wind capital of the world (lol) and those doors would have been long gone without that track keeping them from swinging. Our barn was only a year or two old when we bought our place and the people that built it lined the inside of the door way frame with carpet and it makes a world of difference keeping the wind and snow out and sealing off around the door. They did a lot of weird random things with carpet (have found it all over our pens and outbuildings) but that was actually a smart idea.

I have just found my new favorite store. I have never heard of Menards but now I wish we had one. I did look at the roll up doors but since I was set on the sliders I didnt really set myself up to have room for the tracks for a roll up door. The doors will be wood because I have zero welding skills. I did put a metal roof on the barn but that was my first attempt at dealing with metal.

I will be so glad when it's all finished but I will be proud to be able to say, "I built that!" Ha Ha Caddy was on my crap list for awhile....three times in one week I came home to find him lounging in the backyard and drinking out of the pool. The gates are now like Fort Knox which is a pain when you have your hands full and are trying to get one open.

Like regular house carpet or the outdoor type stuff?
