I wonder what type of guide rail or track people are using and what sort of rollers.
The roof on this shed is not very heavy so the solution does not need to be “industrial” strength. The rollers will need to be V- shaped or just plain concave. The options for track seem to be a bit limited to either 25x25 angle iron or various aluminium angles - 16x16x1.6 or 20x12x1.5 or 3mm seem to be the options.
I can’t find any T-shape track or rail so plain angle seems to the only choice.
I’d be glad to hear what others have done though.
