    Ideas for shade

    Here they have a short lifespan. Evidently the UV kills them quickly? Also I'd need to have the door space as I can only pull a car/truck in partway.

    Ideas for shade

    I'm glad to see you guys have the same issues. I like the sail idea, I have access to some materials to do that. Car washing is one of the reasons I need the shade as well. I have a similar problem on the east side, I have an idea to repurpose an RV awning to shade the back deck. (morning...

    Ideas for shade

    Not bad, I was looking at farm animal shade tarps, similar, maybe less. Those roll up like a window shade? Can't add a tree, no space. That would only solve a few hours....

    Ideas for shade

    My garage door faces west so I get hot bright sun most of the day. I put a 20x20 apron in front so that's a bright reflector. I need ideas for shade so I can have the door open, without shade I just can't see due to the brightness. (either from sun or reflection) I've been dealing with it...

    Show us your VFD conversions/installations

    I use a TECO VFD on my Jet mill. It has a 3 ph 1 hp motor and the VFD converts my 120v to run it just great. I have a hydraulic unit that I could use it on as well but no projects for it so I'll be selling it.

    Allen tools

    Thanks for the replies. It died because of overuse, but really it lasted 25 years. Fedwrench, I'll have a look at cripe, thank you. I'll check into adding a latch but maybe a belt will work.

    tip over switch

    Off is closed. I might even use a battery instead of a power supply. Since the switch I have has 2 sets of contacts it might be useful as a faux alarm light. (don't tell anyone)

    tip over switch

    I want to find a way to make a bracket for a mercury switch so I know my garage door is down and secure. I know its simple but rather than trial and error I thought I would ask for help. Door down, toggle, door up gravity tips it.

    Need rust prevention advice

    I would say Por15 or their competition. It would probably last years if you follow the directions. Try the sampler kit to see if you like it.
