Did you put a stopper on the open end of the track...?  I installed a wood stop on the wall. Will be installing a wood stop above the track to keep the door from being lifted off.

I'm jealous..... great work! Looks very professional! Thanks Much. Now that the design is proofed and tested I have to build another one for the other size of the garage. That is when temperatures drop below the century mark this fall.

I agree, that is some nice work. I do have one question, you mentioned the use of "V" pulleys... are they one piece pulleys, or are they comprised of two pulley "halves", which are riveted, bolted, or welded together over a bearing?
I have seen two-piece pulleys separate, (pried apart), when used under a heavy load in applications similar to yours.
Not trying to find fault, just hate for someone's toes to get flattened.
Excellent fabrication.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

....Excellent fabrication.
100% agreed stuff like RockyT's craftsmanship are my subtle reminder that he is, indeed, King of the Kooks. - - (and my inspiration)

Excellent fabrication. They are cast one piece wheels rated way behond this application.

Barry I replied to your pm with the info you requested good luck. Also please note that the finished product is not pictured. I used cedar lumber to build end stops and above the rollers the entire track length to prevent the rollers from being lifted off the track.

Hi rockytopper- any chance you could send me the same information? I'm very interested! I think your work looks amazing--- what a gorgeous door, mount, and installation! If only I were so skilled! :-) My brother is a bit handier than I am, and he's looking for a solution to install some barn doors in his home but as you mentioned, the cost of track kits is outrageous-- so am wondering if we got more information from you, if he may be able to do something similar.
Thanks for your help- and again, beautiful work! :-)
