Shop Improvements (continued)
The corrugated roll up door on the shop is about 10'3" tall and 12' wide. There were big gaps around the sides and at the top there is a gap/opening of about 2"; lots of room for air, dust, and critters to get in.
I bought a 12' x 12' Brush Seal Kit with 3" Brushes from
https://jacorinc.com/ for about $200 including shipping to Texas.
This kit consists of:
(2) 3″ Medium-Duty Brush x 1″ 45deg Holder x 8′ Long (Sides)
(2) 3″ Medium-Duty Brush x 1″ 45deg Holder x 4′ Long (Sides)
(1) 3″ Medium-Duty Brush x 1″ Straight Holder x 8′ Long (Top)
(1) 3″ Medium-Duty Brush x 1″ Straight Holder x 4′ Long (Top)
(1) Package of 1/8″ x 3/4″Lg self-tapping and drilling fasteners
Jacor Inc provides pretty good installation instructions with the kit, and also have some good installation videos on their website.
It took about 3 to 4 hours of labor to install this kit. The biggest effort is pre-drilling the holes in the steel building trim and support channels for the attachment screws, spaced about one every foot.
The brush seals add a little bit of drag to raising and lowering the door, but make a great seal.
