need to make and hang a big shed door, door will be 15ft wide and 14ft high

the frame will be from 1.5" pipe and I suppose 3 internal supports cross ways

sheeting will be corrugated sheet vertical

the track is what I am thinking about at the min any suggestions?

thinking of using 70mm track welded to a 4" channel on edge and 2 roller hangers one at each end

any links for track and roller setups? want to price rollers on line as are small light and easy to ship so could make a saving I reckon

go for the heavy galvinised track that was used when the grant was on. we have replaced a heap of the light stuff that was rotted true. what about putting a stick on the inside of the sheeting and bolt true it we use 9x3 and it would run closer to the shed as the channel would keep it out

You need Henderson 301 track. It's about €12 a meter. Heiton Buckley have it, amongst other places. Carry door up to 350 kilos. Google it for full spec.
