Storage Shed Door Question


Moonshine

Recommended Posts

I am building a storage shed 14'x20' and looking for a little advice on the main front door. I am installing a 36” steel access door on the side as well, but need to have access for larger items. Menards has a steel roll up door 6' x 7' made by Ideal doors that is very cost effective and looks nice. I just don’t have much knowledge of the product. I was going to put in a double steel swing door in front, but thought that was overkill since I will have the service door. Does anyone have any other suggestions for the main door or first hand knowledge of the Ideal roll up doors.

Thanks, comments are much appreciated!

I have the Menards "Ideal" brand roll up door on my shed at home and it has been great. Mine is only on the tool shed though so it's a 6'x7' door, not sure how big yours will be.

The only downfall that I see with it as because it is ribbed and not flat it does not seal like a regular garage door. I don't care as it's just the lawn mowers etc but wanted to point it out.

I went with double swing doors because I didnt want to lose the overhead space that is blocked by the tracks and the door when its open. I also use one of the doors as the service door eliminating the need for another separate door that uses up more wall space.

Mine is only 9x12 though so I couldnt afford to lose any more space than I had to. You obviously have more options.

The roll ups are nice but IMO I'd want a second entry door. That means you loose wall space.

A sliding door serves both purposes but you'll need that door on a long wall.

A double swing hinge door is the cheapest alternative and works as an entry door too.
