The Super Structure MUST GO !

[Peter Scoma]

My shop will be in a 10x10 space with 7.5ft ceilings which are dropped below 7ft when the overhead door is up. I also cannot hang any lighting with this current arrangement. I plan to build swing out style carraige doors as what I have priced out thus far is simply too expensive. A google search reveals alot of good photos to get some ideas from. I'm not happy about dropping 200$ on an entry door rail and stile router bit set but its still cheaper than any quotes I have gotten thus far.

Do you have any room above the ceiling? I too did not want door rails killing my limited headroom so put the door through a slot in my ceiling between joists. I also didn't want the door to take up all the floor space of the storage above so ran the rails along the rafters.
