E I will let you know soon. I have been busy trying to get the interior finished. As I stated above I have went with a commercial all aluminum coil slat door with operator & remote for the main door. I plan to install the first sliding door in the next few weeks and if it works out I will fabricate and install the second one. If not I will go with light duty manual coil doors as a back up plan. My only concern about the sliding doors is the wind load they could recieve. Generally they are hung on the outside and therefore are supported by the building when the wind blows. These are on the inside and I am still thinking about how I will insure they can handle a heavy wind force. It should not be an issue if they are fully closed I will be supporting the latch side completely form top to bottom. If they are left partically open they are only held by a single stay roller on the bottom. I got a little gun shy after the twister came thru here a few months ago.

I would also note that breeze ways really do work. It is amazing the air flow that generates thru this area. It has made it real bareable to work even in the 100+ temps we are getting.
