Greetings, all;

I have a large opening in the rear of my garage that I was originally planning on putting a roll-up door in. Since then, I have been considering other options, for both cost and aesthetic reasons. The opening is 9' wide, and approximately 8 1/2' tall. I've thought that a barn-type sliding door might suit my purposes, but I wonder if anyone has ever come across one that might pull into the opening when it closes, to help reduce the possibility of rodent incursion. Sort of like the sliding door on a van. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any idea of how it was accomplished? I've searched this site, and Googled a few things, but nothing that covers what I'm looking for has shown up. Any pointers/info would be greatly appreciated!

I've been wondering how I'm going to seal the bottoms of my two sliders also. I've thought about using some garage door threshold weatherstripping. Another thought has been to make a small step (1-2 inches) between outside and inside concrete that door will come up against when latched tight.
