Definitely Horton Stack Doors
I am so glad I bought Horton Stacked door! Live in North Georgia. Reasons why best door:
- I can open any number of panels and leave the rest closed. Allows car or tractor in/out but keeps weather out.
- They are translucent, letting lots of light in. No additional cost on installation of windows/panels on hangar structure.
- I can fully open my doors faster than electric or hydro neighbors. They roll with one finger.
- They ALWAYS open, even when power is out!
- Less exposure or possible damage from wind while open.
- Can be reasonably weather tight, especially if you use above ground rail.
- Doors standard height is 12 foot, controls cost. Less cost than other powered door options.
- No costly header structure on full length opening. (As req'd for pwr doors)
- Least maintenance/upkeep of any door out there.
- Save money by installing yourself, very easy to do.
The only negatives I can come up with:
- They don't offer overhead shade or rain cover when open.
- They do require more effort than just pushing a button.
- you have to plan extra width for opening (But so little more!)
- enough ice could require lots of effort to remove before opening.
Don't forget, airplanes can move diagonally in and out of hangars! I don't work for the company nor have any relationship with them. But I wear their hat, because I think everyone should know how good these doors are.
