Hey Chris you need to put up some pics of your sheds.
I spent a couple of hours out at Chris's place last year and man has he got some sheds
of course you have no space in your shed chris coz you are a collector of usefull things like most blokes ;)
but you have some awesome stuff worth posting some pics

 :-[Has oneone cut down a used garage roller door and installed it, is there a trick to tensioning the spring mechanism inside the door and do you need any specialised tool. I have heard plenty of horror stories, I want to replace thr lintel in my shed so that I can remove the two single door and replace with one double roller door

Thanks

Gidday Joe
 Don't know about cutting one down but to tension all you need is a pair of vice grips and spin in the centre bar in required direction then tighten on mounting brackets.
It is however easier with one person at either end with a pair of vice grips so one can hold while the other releases and repositions!
Have done this a couple of times now!
If you like it do it, If you like it a lot do it a lot!

Thanks Hotrod

One other point is the door down or rolled up when I do this tensioning
