An Unusual way to Build an Insulated Folding Garage Door

This week I'm building a Folding Door for my new Shop! It's made from 5mm thick steel angle iron and wood Insulated with 30mm thick EPS boards. This bi-fold design with the offset hinges allows me to fold out the doors to a full 180degree.

I watched the video with a smile on my face knowing that you'll do something unusual yet useful, and you didn't fail me ... beautiful .

[@Ollaris]

😀 Thanks! Glad to hear that!

[@rief0420]

To get the size of the precision I was impressed with the way You to work. simple for me as a beginner .. 👍

[@mediapc4747]

This one gets the full slow head nod. Sweet build.

[@roldannunez9866]

Great job! We need more craft men’s in this world than entertainers . 👌

[@Ollaris]

Thanks! Or the best of both worlds! Entertaining craftsmen and crafts women!

[@sgsax]

These look really great! I never would have thought of building the whole frame first and then cutting it apart. Really slick idea. Thanks for sharing!

[@Labsy]

Great approach to buld whole frame first, add hinges and only then cut it apart for perfect fit. Excellent design and work, thnx

[@cruzmissile25]

I use this same technique when building wood fence gates, I run the 2x4 across both 4x4 post, build the frame, then cut it off after I put the hinges on. Very good technique for perfect fit doors/gates

[@ViewThis.]

I see welding that frame in place as a guaranteed way to get all the measurements exactly correct.

[@gyuszesz]

Most látom hogy magyar vagy, már nagyon régóta követlek, szeretem a videóidat, a munkásságod. Csak így tovább!👍

[@Ollaris]

Köszönöm szépen Gyula!

[@papplaszlo787]

Szia.Én most tudtam meg!

[@Miserace]

Happy to see that you put the diagonal Z-pieces in the right way so that they will keep the doors from sagging. A lot of people don't really think about the physics of those supports.

[@tomfull6637]

@Miserace Well actually it’s exactly the opposite when working with steel. 😄

[@Miserace]

@@tomfull6637 I believe this claim needs an explanation. To my knowledge the direction of a compression brace has to be from top/far side to bottom/hinged side to actually serve a purpose, which is to transfer the force applied (or just the weight itself) at the far side to the bottom of the near (hinged)side. The force wants to push the far side down, gets redirected diagonally, trying to "compress" the brace, which it can't, so the door won't sag. There is a way of putting a brace in the other way around. But then it has to be under tension, "pulling" the far bottom corner "up" into the top hinged corner. I don't really get why the material should make a difference.... but i'm always happy to learn something new 👍

[@tomfull6637]

@@Miserace well as long as the brace is long lasting (wood + screws/nails are not but a welded metal brace is) it doesn’t matter if the brace is hanging (pulling) or standing (pushing) diagonally, the square (door) can never loose its 4 x 90 degrees angels owing to the brace. In this video an angle bar (fairly resistant against bending) is used as brace. (And attached to the wood it gets extra bending resistance. But... Now imagine a brace made of flat steel bar! Also imagine a naked door without wood ie just a frame with a diagonal brace. A flat bar requires in pulling force some 250-350 Nm/mm2 x its cross section before it starts breaking. (25-35 Kp/mm2) Pushing force on the other hand.... when exceeding a certain length (in relation to its width and thickness) and not very long actually, you start making a bow of the brace. In this case approx. a 2,5 meter (8’) brace, you only need a very little pressing force to start the brace to bow. Hence the hanging brace is more reliable and foremost easier to calculate as you don’t have to consider the integrity of the bow resistance any attachments of surface dressing (wood or other) brings along.

[@Ralph2]

Videos like this usually attract endless armchair 'experts' telling you how you should have done it. Nice to see none here, just positive vibes....I thought it was great too!

[@redstripedsocks5245]

Probably could have been cheaper and easier to use wood for the frame instead o steel.

[@lordgarth1]

Sycophants too

[@jackelectricman]

I live in Nicaragua and this is the common way it's done here. Sometimes on sight and sometimes in the shop. Here they make their own hinges and catches. Only the locks are pre-manufactured. It's rare to use a wood finish but it is an option here. But the wood is hand sanded and finished from rough cut lumber. Most times the welders create beautiful artwork such as ornamental flowers and other designs on each panel. Absolutely incredible talent among the people of Nicaragua. I wish I could include a pic.

[@BC5391]

Fantastic, the light bulb just turned on, you just inspired me.

[@fonziyo]

It's actually smart way of doing it

[@Richardskull]

Watched again 2 yrs later! Thinking taste might change! Nope ,still an awesome door!

[@Ollaris]

Ha! Thanks!

[@constantreader7944]

What an amazing idea! I was looking for an aesthetic solution to a Gare/gate opening with a door, and this is it. I love it. Thank you for posting.

[@patchadams4me]

I wish I welded. These are ingenious. Thank you for making them and filming it, then posting them here!

[@Ollaris]

Thanks a lot! Never to late to give it a try!

[@charliemason4355]

Brilliant craftsmanship, as always. If I could give you more than one thumbs up I would!

[@Ollaris]

Thank you! 🙂

[@bergfpv6486]

How did you lose one of your things? Sorry, couldn't resist. 👍👍

[@bergfpv6486]

Thumbs. Damn auto-misspell.

[@Gangelie]

Thx for your inspiration, because of your video I build my own door. Because of the slightly bigger size i used a rail construction for the two connected doors to fold. Working like a charm ;)

[@exJacktar]

What a pleasure to watch a craftsman create a beautiful object.

[@tommywright8369]

I've been fabricating and welding for 30 years. Very impressive bruh!

[@karelmarx8899]

You're so young and sooo smart. This just so great and at same time so simple. It's art of handwork.

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I’m a little tiny single woman, but this looks SO COOL! I wish I understood what was going on more! Very professional!!

[@MrVito456]

Beautiful workmanship and craftsmanship. Following you from Morocco 🇲🇦!

Wow! Door look beautiful . Great design👍👍👍

Thanks a lot

I like how one side can be used as a pedestrian door!

I only clicked on the video to see the truck and was pleasantly surprised by the rest of the video. Great job on those doors!

[@Ollaris]

Hahahahaha! Thanks! I have a second channel just about the truck 😉

[@ecdezz]

@@Ollaris I know what you mean, I started a second channel just for my fastback. I j ust put a couple in my watch list for later ;)

Whaaaat? I’ve always wanted one! I need to check out your channel!

Very nice work... from across the pond. Thank you sir.

[@robvanza]

New Shop!!! Great stuff, always nice to upgrade! Doors looks and works awesome!! Can't wait to see the new setup!

@@Ollaris you will and it takes a lot of time. I've been busy for almost 2 years. Every time I get something new tend to want rearrange the whole workshop! Good luck and enjoy it!

Really nice job on constructing the doors. Looking at your eves, if you lived in Oregon I'd be concerned about water collecting in the bottoms of the doors. You probably live in a dryer climate. Thanks for sharing,

[@largemarge1603]

For our build in Eugene Oregon, we are sheathing the exterior with 16-gauge sheet-metal from Coyote Steel. The Coyote crew cut to my dimensions. Why steel instead of wood? Goofballs on bicycles at 3am.

Whilst I saw you building and welding the frames I thought to myself the title of the video insulating garage doors, and I looked at the airbricks exposed in the walls and thought why bother you need to sort out the walls. but in the final finished section Boom the walls and doors all finished fine my man. Nice work.

Brilliant. Obviously you could do more folds if you want. The limiting factor would be the hinges. I guess you could add a sunken track and wheels.
