Anyone do a canopy or tilt up door on a lean to? I have 15 ft 6 inch by 8 ft 4 inch high openings I want to close in winter with the picnic tables and other thinggs stored. A sectional garage door 8 feet tall does not work because the inside is just over 7 feet deep. Probably be a do it yourself design since you see very little of these doors in the US.

you got room for a SLIDER ?? two doors 8 ft wide that overlap 6 inches would work... and you can build yourself out of 2 x 4 frame and 1 x 6 or plywood face.... have seen some use roofing tin on the face also..

Son built a 10 x 10 door that swings up and becomes a extension roof into shop . Hinged at top and has slides inside to hold open - only problem it needs to be raised from inside
