Building a couple swinging doors might be practical for extended, or permanent placement. You build them on the flat floor, then get help to mount them. Hinges or pivot rods should be in any hardware store.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-66333120056939801042022-06-02T11:51:04.262-05:002022-06-02T11:51:04.262-05:00I did the same with my garage door.

A few self drilling screws, some HVAC tape for seams, and some washers to keep the screws from pulling thru the foam and I was done. It makes a BIG difference, especially if the sun shines on the door during the day. I run a small window A/C unit to keep the temps below 100F, and at the same time, a powered exhaust fan in the roof. The fan takes the hot air out and mostly seems to pull air along the roof. The a/c still cools the lower part of the garage, you can feel the colder air, even as the fan is sucking air out the roof.<br /><br />It may not be the most efficient scheme but it works.<br />nnick flandreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481936223334437463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-12890118218392815072022-06-02T10:02:27.687-05:002022-06-02T10:02:27.687-05:00Peter

As a uneasy city dweller (Plano) if I were to drive up to your front gate - a few months from now - with a vehicle loaded full of canned goods of all kinds, Camping gear, all manner of batteries, veteran associated equipment etc., would you let me park out back?
