pole barn sliding door gaps

[dodgeking3171]

hey guys, so i just had a pole barn put up and im doing my own inspection before final payment. im looking at my sliding doors, i have 2 14 hight 12 wide doors.

Im wondering about the closed gaps between building and door. the bottom is about like i would expect. maybe 1/4 inch maybe. top on the other hand, well i can get my hand through it haha. its pry 2 inches away from the building. is this normal? i dont remember this from any past barns ive been in. seems like a huge gap tons of snow ect will come in that bad boy

i should mention that tthis is when its sinched down, actually when sinced tight the door is bowed a bit

You should be able to adjust the hangers at the top to move the door in closer to the building, but then the bottom may rub. You can get a cover that attaches to the track to deflect rain and snow.

Pole barn door:

YouTube link to a quick video I shot of the gaps. I do have the guard over the door on the outside

I'm wondering about the rollers. Do they look correct?

The above vid was suggested while watching yours. Do you have the eccentric bolt to adjust the top gap?

Should be two nuts on the portion of threaded rod under the top of door, nut closest to the wood may have a grove with a nail through it acting as a set. Remove nail if present, and with the two nuts jammed tight together you should be able to use a wrench to move the door in or out by turning the nuts and shaft together.

Use an adjustable wrench or visegrip on the flats of the threaded stem. Back the lock nut off from the door frame. Turn the threaded stem and the door will move in and out. When you get it where you want, snug the jam nut back tight.
