How wide are your doors going to be? We built ours 12' wide, split into 6' sections. I'm not sure I'd do it like that again...

2 8' doors for a total opening of 16' wide. An overhead door of any quality is way too expensive.

If you have the room to slide a single 16' either way I would go with a solid instead of a split door, less hardware and you dont have a bracket or post in the center for the doors to latch to on the bottom.

On our split doors we just latch the two sides together and then latch each end to the door frame post.

I have one 16 ft wide, 14 ft tall doorway.
I did what dun did, it is alot easier to open and close two 8 foot doors.

Just make sure you don;t do like the moron that built the workshop/machine shop on this farm did. The end door opening is 20 feet, the doors are exactly 10 feet each. I had to modify them and the door opening to get a weather proof closer on them.
