Modified Door Frame On Hoop Building BUILDINGS New Techniques 25-2-35 I recently put up a 40 by 80-ft. CoverAll shelter - a free-standing frame building covered by canvas with a 14 by 18-ft. door. I wouldn't have been able to fit my 30-ft. self-propelled swather through the door, so when I put up the building I ordered it without the door framing members and built my own modified door frame. By hinging the door posts 7 ft. off the ground, I can flip up the canvas on both sides of the door so the header will fit inside the building.
I used 4-in. sq. tubing to make the door posts. To make the hinge I cut each post 7 ft. from the bottom, then welded on small pieces of pipe that are connected by a pin. The bottom of the post rests on a 2-ft. length of 2 1/2-in. sq. tubing that's buried underground. (Andrew Taylor, Box 99, Beatty, Sask., Canada S0J 0C0 (ph 306 752-3795)
