The garage door rolls up just like a real door. The Power Wheels jeep fits inside with plenty of play-room, and he can always back it out for more space, just like daddy does with the real garage!

Outside view.Here's an outside view with all doors closed. the 'walk-in' door is a double 'Dutch' door. The 'garage' door was made out of corrugated plastic ('coro') -- more details on that in the coming pictures.

Garage DoorHere's some detail on the garage door. As noted above, it's made of coro cut to size, and "prerolled" so that it wants to roll up with the door tracks. The tracks were made out of 2x4 stock, making an L-shape using a half-lap joint, then freehand-routing a groove in them for the door to slide in. Four stabilizer bars of wood, bolted to the coro door, add lateral strength, similar to the struts on a real garage door. There's an extra 2x4 on top in this pic that shouldn't be there thanks to William!

Door mechanismAnother picture, showing the door track and mechanism. The effect is sort of a cross between a 'real' garage door and a roll-top desk. The tracks are kept parallel by a thin board running between them at the top rear, and the little stop blocks keep the door from being raised too high (as shown here and in the previous picture).
