Cheap Garage door solution?

Dopey

I have an old up-and-over style garage door at the back of my house leading onto a laneway. The door is on it's very last legs. I've had the spring replaced about a year and a half ago and it now looks like the wind could blow it over.

I tried the yellow pages and all quotes for two wooden doors where +1200 Euro.

I want to be able to open it from the outside. Any idea where I can get one cheap? I am not looking for pretty.

Many thanks,

Dopey

I have a 6'6" X 6'6" white victorian henderson up and over garage door, with frame and all fittings, its in mint condition.

I converted my garage into a room and the door is now in my back garden.

I had people in fitting a conservatory, one of them said they'd take it, but i don't think they will.

If he doesn't take it, Do you want it?

If Dopey's not interested Jim, I'll take it, how much, and where is it,

I'm in Naas.

You have to collect.

What do you think its worth?

kadman

You gave Dopey the first option, so its only fair to let him decide if he wants it first, if not I, ll come in second.

Hi Jim,

If you decide to sell it, you should post it on the FS forum, with a start price.

Hi Gals

Another option is the roller doors very similar to industrial but with a nice easy to clean pvc coated finish.

Not as expensive as they look and very tidy because they don't take up any garage space.

Dopey

Hi Kadman,

We have ordered the stairs from the carpenter I mentioned. He's a little bit over our budget but we feel more confortable with him.

Please go ahead with the garage door.

The roller door might be an option rooferPete. I like the idea of something simple. I'd like a door with low or easy maintenance. I don't mind a bit of maintenance once I can do it myself.

Thanks again for the responses.
