Order the roller shutter narrower than the hole. Bolt the runners in perpendicular to the ground and the top roller parallel to the ground.

Will look great from your house

Be easier just making a solid section from 400mm to nowt to bolt to the bottom of the door than cutting the door off at an angle through the slats I'd have thought and doesn't spoil the door itself.

Out of what?

Started infill

Great work!

 

[Diggerdavey]

I've seen it where the bottom of the shutter has been removed, the shutter slats cut to fit the angle and the bottom bit reattached. Obvously will hang down a bit on the lower side when open, but the actual access height will be the same all the way across.

Yes I’ve seen them done that way too. Although 400mm hanging down in the doorway one side when the door is up could cause havoc

 

[V8Druid]

Out of what?

1" box and skin it with some 1mm galv sheet .... bolt it to the tee bar under the door bottom

 

[Monkeybusiness]

Can’t you dig the high side out in the doorway and have a wonky ramp inside the shed?…

 

[AusDave]

Client now decided wants roller door fitted,Any one got any simple ideas to make door work at bottom with gradient 400mm drop from post to post,Can only think of shuttering a U channel into ground which would be level & work as a drain at same time? View attachment 36532

[DaveDCB]

Built some raised veg plots at home, fenced it off, will be putting some rabbit netting around the whole lot to keep the peskeys out!

Digging out and levelling ready to dig garage founds. First day out with the 80. Happy enough with it, stable, powerful and smooth along with good reach, just not the fastest on the planet.

Mostly stoned up and ready for marking out. Quarry is bloody slow getting stone out atm, few drivers off with Covid has held it all up. Cat is off hired so just sitting there. Got roller in today to compact it all, really not a fan of this one.

Then home for a quick chat with the boss before getting farm work done

 

[Furniss]

Looks like a good buy
Prob just photo but boom ram wont wilt onto the roller I hope

That’s just the photo, it’s actually about 2ft away from it

Not much digging today. Spent most of it with client and foreman marking out (slow process with them)

What you gone for centers or outside of bucket

Always centre dig

 

[Left hooker]

Always centre dig

Me too no mix ups where it either ends up larger or smaller

 

[craig]

Makes a change from a normal container.

 

[craig]

Worse places for a brew.

 

[Routy56]

Always centre dig

Me too
Although some numpty builders I dig footing for ain’t got a clue
Then I insist on looking at the plans and get them to agree with my marking out before I dig

 

[Thomas7740]

Exactly one place we work they do the marking out and they always manage to get there measurements mixed up, walls running 6inches off then they realise they had one end centre dig and the other the wall
