Sliding Vs. Overhead Doors

When choosing exterior doors for a horse barn, one of the most common debates is whether to install sliding or overhead doors.

Sliding doors are generally considered the better option for equine spaces, thanks to their superior safety, cost-effectiveness, durability, and ease of use. They operate quietly — producing little to no noise — which is important for keeping horses calm and comfortable. Sliders also allow you to guide a horse with one hand while opening the door with the other, making daily routines smoother and safer.

Overhead doors, on the other hand, can be less practical in a barn environment. They often require both hands to operate, which can be inconvenient and potentially unsafe when handling a horse. They also tend to produce more noise during use, and they typically require more ongoing maintenance to stay in good working order.

The Advantages of Aluminum Barn Doors over Traditional Wood Doors

Aluminum doors are much more resistant to warping and sagging than wood doors. The powder coating also provides long-term color retention, meaning less fading over time. 

Unlike wood (which needs regular sealing, staining, or painting to stay protected), aluminum doors are virtually maintenance-free.

Additionally, aluminum doors are lightweight, making them easier to open and close.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it Difficult to Install an Aluminum Sliding Door?

Installation is straightforward as long as the framing is level, and the opening is properly sized. We recommend having the opening prepared before installation, but we also offer guidance through video calls, photos, or phone consultations to ensure everything is done correctly.

Are Aluminum Barn Doors Weather-Resistant?

Yes, aluminum barn doors are highly resistant to weather. The heavy-duty aluminum construction combined with a premium powder-coated finish makes them both durable and long-lasting, even in harsh outdoor conditions.

How do I Maintain these Doors?

Maintenance is simple. These doors can be cleaned with warm water and soap or pressure-washed as needed. Regular cleaning helps maintain their appearance and ensures longevity.
