I want to replace my two 10-foot roll-up shop doors with large out-swing doors made from rigid foam, framed with 2x, and laminated between thin sheets of plywood.
My reasons are three-fold: for better insulation than my current steel roll-up doors; to eliminate the current doors' interference with overhead lighting & dust collection; and to allow me to cut a narrow horizontal slot opening through which long boards can pass off of my table saw.
Has anyone had experience making such doors that can offer me advise on what to do and not to do? I would be very appreciative of tips, e.g., on fabrication, weather sealing, security, cosmetics, etc.
