I have a 14 foot wide, 12 foot high sliding door on my pole barn. Today and tonight will be the highest winds it has seen. Right now we have around 25 MPH gusts, and it seems like the bottom would swing up and hit the ceiling if I didn't have the bottom held up against the wall.
I have not put my guide rollers on there yet, can't seem to want to spend $18 each on that. I might rig up something else cheaper. I have a half a dozen bales of hay there now.
Just wondering if people put temporary bracing on their doors for the big wind days. There is nothing between my door and the tree line over a quarter mile away to the west, and the wind is coming straight out of the west tonight.
My door is made out of wood 2x4's flat, so the door is and inch and a half thick plus the metal.
Any advice is appreciated.
