Bike storage shed

beertons

I'm making a shed for storing bikes. Just like the one I have linked below. Where would I get the arms, that lift up the door. Trying to get all the bits together, before I start assembly.

I doubt those arms actually lift the door - its not motorized. I suggest you improvise with some sort of toothed catch so the door will stay open automatically when lifted, but can be easily released - perhaps a spring-tensioned grasp

I'll have 2 little douels/dowels on the top, to hold it up there. Was just wondering what the arms were called, and where I could buy them.

You could use gas struts?
