Hi, i was hoping for some help regarding a diy electric garage door ;)
We have a canopy style garage door which is the entrance to our bac yard. The yard is large enough to park two cars however we normall leave them out on the front street as we're both too lazy to open an close the garage door every evening after work. However my other hal managed to snap one of the small steel ropes which are on both sides o the door (she obviously much stronger than me :p ). Anyway, rather tha looking into repairing the existing garage door i though it could be a opportunity to look into a motorised one.
My questions are :
- how difficult is it to fit an electric garage door.
- suggestions on where to purchase
- rough idea of how much a basic motorise door costs (including an fittings)
- whats the easiest/cheapest style door to fit?
Also, our current garage door has a large metal girder running horizontally, across the top of door. I assume this would need to com down for an electronic one to go in place
