I hope my words make sense because I tried drawing a diagram and it just made things more confusing. But I'd like some input on my planned carport doors.
My openings on the car port are 23 feet wide, and 9 feet tall at the peak, 8 feet tall on the sides.I have billboard vinyls cut to 12x25 feet.
my thought on this is to:
1. Run grommets across the bottom and again 6 inches up. This will hold 1"conduit with eye bolts on it every 3 feet. Zip tie the conduit into the billboard through the grommets.
2. Run another set of grommets across the whole width 3 feet up, and again at 6 feet.
3. Attach the rope to the eye bolts and feed it through the grommets at 3 and 6 feet.
4. After the 6 feet pass through, I want to join the rope together into one piece.
5. Take the one piece and run it through a central ceiling mounted pully, then to a boat cleat.
In theory, this will let me pull one rope that lifts the entire door out of the way and lets me attach it to the car port.
I'm also thinking of adding a hole on either side to cut back on wind whipping everything around.
so far, to me, that sounds like a good plan that will work.
but there is a step I'm missing. How to attach the top of the door to the carport. I'm considering grommets and bolts, but I don't want to drill holes in the roof if I don't have to. I know tape won't hold worth a E36 M3, so it probably will have to be a physical connection.
does this make sense? Could there be a better way?
