After a two year hiatus I finally, with the help of my buddy neighbors finished this shed. I'd like to have some sort of door or cover on the front. My first thought was a tarp that would hang from the header and secure to the corner posts with the grommets. A 2x2 furring strip in the bottom seam would help hold it down plus make it easy to roll it up to get inside.
My second thought was rolling barn door hangers. Since the tracks could not extend out beyond the existing header, I think one track would have to be on the outside of the header and the other would have to be on the inside so that both doors could be all the way to right or all the way to the left. Make sense?
The hangers are very pricey though. Since this project is virtually all scrounged material including salvaged metal roofing from our hail storm and most of the wood except for the 4x4 posts, I'm not really sure I want to spend upwards of $400 just for the hanger hardware. There are no tarps with the correct dimensions so it would require some cutting and sewing to get the right size.
The span is a bit wide to have doors hinged on the left and right posts. Maybe hinge two side by side doors overhead and use posts to prop up the doors?
Last thought: Maybe sort of a 'sun visor' about three feet deep that would be hinged to the header. This would prevent most all rain from entering unless it was blowing horizontally and the shed is protected by a tall, thick tree/brush line on all sides.
FYI: Dims are about 14 wide, 11 deep. Open side is about 8 feet high though it slopes a bit to the right for roof runoff.
Any suggestion or ideas?
Thanks!
