I called Lark, they said to order a new door from local dealer. Im looking for a cheaper solution as the door is in great shape.

I have a Lark storage shed. 48x72 fiberglass door on it. The screw-in piano type hinge frame has failed from flapping in the wind. The fiberglass panel itself is fine. Not having any luck looking for the frame. Any other ideas to repair would be appreciated. Its got a " continuous rod" type hinge .

Hi. I have a 22 year old steel building with a few rust holes caused by roof panels too short to hit the gutters. I extended the roof panels to stop the cause of the rust. Now I want to close the holes as best as I can without removing the exterior gutter. Scab on a piece of same metal? Sill...

If you wanted to paint the exterior of a 30 by 80 steel building, what sprayer would you buy?

This install is flat florida pasture. No rocks, no roots, just sandy well draining soil.
