The overhead door is coming off Rattboy along with all the hangers and tracks...I want the overhead area open and uncluttered with lots of light. Not sure if I am going with a barn door type of thing or maybe a double french door....anyone know where I can find vintage looking swing out garage doors?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Larry, let me see if i can take a pic of the back of the barn doors i made for mine. Actually they are made with 1x8 pine mounted on 2x8 Z frame with 2 long hinges on each door. Work great, swing easy, and noooo sag. will take some shots tomorrow if you want.  |

Larry here are some shots of how i did my doors. The only problem i have with the swing outs is unless you close them all the time, they do get stained from the rain. You can get auto closers though. Hope this helps.

A tip;
When building a door besure that the diagonal runner forming the "Z" frame originates from the top hinge. This will allow this diagonal piece to concentrate the weight of the door right to that hinge.
Vey nice looking garage/carraige house type building. I would give my left nut for a nice building like that!!!
