Simple Channel Saves Large Sliding Doors

Simple Channel Saves Large Sliding Doors BUILDINGS New Techniques 33-3-32 After strong winds damaged the sliding doors on his storage shed, Mark Eilers came up with a simple yet effective method to deal with the problem. Eilers simply made a guide channel out of a piece of channel iron, and then welded 3-ft. long rods onto the bottom of it to be driven into the ground. The channel iron extends up only about 3 in. above ground so it's easily crossed by the wheels on tractors, trucks and implements. The guide is only about 3 ft. wide at the center of the door opening. He rounded off the corners of the channel iron to prevent tire damage.
