So
to Leo.G for this part of the project. I have been considering various options for creating the tracks for the shutter to roll along when opening and closing.
These options included using aluminium flat bar laminated together. Example, one piece of 25mm wide flat bar then several 10mm wide flat bar stacked to give a track width of 20mm then finished off with 25mm wide flat bar. Probable would work but costly.
Other option was again using a piece of 25mm wide flat bar but instead of 10mm wide flat bar I would be using timber then finished off with 25mm wide flat bar. Problem here is finding a suitable piece of timber fit for purpose.
The final option which I have gone for is to use a strip of 30mm colour bond steel scrounged from a building site, 5 strips of yellow tongue, stacked and a piece of 25mm wide flat bar to top it off. All up a cost-effective solution to a problem.
The Yellow tongue was Leo.G idea
Cheers
