Door mechanism566 viewsAnother 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).

Two more frames559 viewsWe set the frames outside after each was built to free up room in the garage. The Timber Bilt kits actually go up pretty easy. They have a unique bracket system for piecing together the larger timbers, and most of the rest of the assembly is done with some special lag screws and coated deck screws.
