Plastic Door Won't Rot, Warp, Or Rust Out

Plastic Door Won't Rot, Warp, Or Rust Out BUILDINGS Accessories 25-2-27 Doors inside livestock confinement buildings often don't last very long due to all the moisture and manure, which can cause them to rot, warp or rust out. This new "corrosion proof" door is made from plastic and will solve the problem, says the manufacturer, Cannon Ball, HNP, Beloit, Wis. The plastic door comes with stainless steel hinges and can be ordered with either a stainless steel latch or a door knob. It's available in 3-ft., 3 1/2-ft., 4-ft., 6-ft., 7-ft., and 8-ft. widths. Most metal doors in livestock confinement buildings don't last more than two or three years before they start to rust out," says a company spokesman. "Our door can be ordered with windows measuring 16 by 16 or 24 by 24. The jambs are expandable from 3 to 6 1/2 in. depending on the thickness of the wall." The doors are more expensive than conventional metal or wood doors, but in the long run they cost less than having to replace doors every few years." He adds that the company doesn't sell direct to customers, but through distributors.
