This guy!!!!
Congrats!!! What an amazing view and property!!!

Did I misunderstand - I was under the impression that the Cave was ON you're existing property?

Either way - Enjoy in good health + more pics!!!

The most anyone will do is 18' before going to a 5 or 6 panel.

Hopefully someone has a source they can point me too. Material is steel frame with double glass panels.

Thanks!

Its a reasonably nice home... The 45 acres of property it comes with is the real prize. Huge hardwood forrest with a 9 stall horse barn and various pasture areas that I will be converting to wildflower meadows for my bee hobby.

Having built mine a few years back - (I ended up with two 9's). as 18 and 20' doors (non rollup commercial) are hard to find. Not just due to size, but weight and opening mechanism... You can Try Thermacore Steel doors, they have similar design to what you are showing in the pic, and they do up to 20' custom doors (and insulated). That is one of the few I have seen that are not just pure custom or the roll-up commercial type (think loading dock) - which is not the look you are going for.

I ordered a plain 20’ Haas garage door that is 8’ tall. I then had it clad with western red cedar to get the look I wanted. If I’m following what you want, perhaps you can do something similar - get the materials you want and clad / install onto a standard door.

Was thinking the same thing but they tend to be pretty utilitarian and often bi-fold or sliding style

I purchased my dream 2 acre property in November and have a finished out 26x26 attached garage and a 50x50 Vulcan steel building that's attached to the house with a nice breezeway patio off the kitchen. Attached garage is spray foam insulated like everything else with sheet rock, paint, and AC/Heat. My shop is spray foam insulated, sheet rocked 14ft up, trimmed out with half bath and AC/Heat. Never really want to leave. LOL


New GTS' home


Love being able to park the dually in the garage.

Shop before I moved stuff in.

Work truck and trailer pull through

Shop is bigger than my house. Love it!

Attached carport on the shop is a perfect "wash bay"

First wash of the 992 GTS

My old GT500 CFTP peaking out
