A roll-up shed door is a curtain of interlocking steel slats that coils around a drum above the opening, operating like a miniature commercial rolling door and consuming no ceiling or side-wall space inside the building.

Definition

What it means

A roll-up shed door is a curtain of interlocking steel slats that coils around a drum above the opening, operating like a miniature commercial rolling door and consuming no ceiling or side-wall space inside the building. Sizes for sheds and small barns commonly run 4 to 8 feet wide with manual lift, latching at the bottom rail. The design tolerates wind and abuse better than wood doors, though the springs need periodic tension adjustment and the slats dent.
