Pivot Slide or Glide: Beautiful Doors for Pole Barns in Colorado

Doors influence the strength and appearance of any building in Colorado, especially big doors for pole barns. A choice of beautiful doors contributes to the excellence of our Lester Buildings pole barns in Colorado. Do you need a wide-open wall for farm equipment or a private plane? The huge pivot door could be the best choice. We love the farm look with Dutch or rustic sliding doors and handsome overhead doors for an auto shop.

Great Doors for Pole Barns

Lester Buildings explains it a bit deeper on their website. “Doors are a critical part of solidifying Lester’s Lifetime Structural Design Warranty.” (“Steel Sliding Doors & Windows – Barn Hydraulic Doors …”) The pole barn company configures safe and attractive pole building kits.

A team of professional designers, architects, and engineers guide decisions for big doors. Our clients learn the pros and cons of various doors. They are also able to see the different looks on the screen.

Pivot Doors

Pivot and sliding doors have joined the traditional overhead array. These pivot doors have become almost trendy. Made of wood, glass, or metal, the heavy doors require substantial bracing. In residential use, they make a statement with a pivot anchored to the floor. Power pivot doors on large pole buildings may pivot up, supplying completely clear area for access. Used on an event pavilion, a power pivot door could open to outdoor dining. Farmers appreciate the ease of use. In contrast to overhead doors that take up interior space, pivot doors open out. They look good, too.

Sliding Doors

Lester designs and manufactures custom sliding steel doors. For ease and smooth opening and closing, specially lubricated trolleys make them function. In addition, a rounded track design enables self-cleaning during operation.

To prevent door twisting, warping, or binding, extra steel reinforces the door structure. Framing begins with heavy-duty 16-gauge steel verticals and either 16 or 20-gauge girts. In turn, 29 or 26-gauge Uni-Rib steel panels clad the door.

These strong doors by Lester Buildings meet and exceed building loads. Presently, they are the only wind-rated doors on the market. Lester had to undertake this project because a non-wind0rated door would compromise a strong building.

Overhead Doors

Overhead doors make up the huge percentage of shop and garage doors. We see them up and down every street. Lester Buildings offers regular and oversized overhead doors that fill the bill for all the purposes of pole building configurations. Doors may be ordered with or without windows, which add good natural light. New versions come on the market regularly. So, clients can choose to make buildings of any size or shape function perfectly.
