Hi everyone,
Yes I did the unthinkable. I bought a 30X38 Steelmaster quanset. This thing was a royal pain to assemble but thanks to 12 friends and 2 days, we've got it up.
It came with one end wall. The other end is open. I'm gonna build a wall and install Hardiplank siding to match my house.
I just ordered 20- 1.9" X 5/8" steel rollers to build a double sliding door. Each door will **** up flush. I'll use thick flat plate to mount to rollers. Any idea of a source and type of track? Pics of similar doors would be great too.

Please update your mystery location in profile.

If you intend to heat it, a regular roll-up garage door will seal (heat, insects, rodents) much better than the sliders.

Goggle barn door hardware or track and you should find something to your liking. I'll warn you though the stuff you'll most likely want will kill you from sticker shock.

Added location.
I know sliding doors are far from ideal but I've priced roll up doors and there out of my price range at the time.
I've still got wiring and 200amp service to pay for.
There has to be a way to seal the opening somewhat.
If anyone's built something like this, please post pics and details.
Thanks

Any farm store type place will have the tracks and door hangers you are after.
"Sterling" is a common brand name around here.

This is the only shot I have of my doors. I was kinda in the same boat as you except my door is an odd size and would have to be special ordered and I needed doors quicker. They are however fixing to get replaced with an overhead door as I have everything I need to build one, unless I change my mind and do double bi-fold doors.
