Right, Bob.
I plan on posting a sign and laying out a parking perimeter line in front of the door. But, you could actually part to within about 6-7 feet of the door opening. Eventually, I will install a rotating beacon and an "Oogaa" horn (dive! dive!) to warn folks of operation. I will be installing a couple of limit switches; one that will prevent the hydraulics from operating if the door latch is not released and one that will shut off the power when the door reaches its open limit.
I already have a keyed switch to prevent electric power to the hydraulics unless its inserted and turned to the on position. Its the red thing in the photo on the battery box. Then, of course, there is the momentary UP and DOWN switch that must be continuously pressed to remain activated.
I considered a bi-fold, but with a Q hut type opening, I would have had to install posts and girder outside the hangar. While I can take credit for this particular fabrication, in truth its a conceptual copy of the one Tracy Crook built.

Ed,
So, you have to be careful not to park the car close to the door or the car
may get rolled over when the door opens, or if there is something immovable
in front of it the rams will try and move the building back a few feet. I
was under the impression that you were building a bi fold door. I would
have never thought of a single panel door opening upward like that. I am
jealous. Like the saying goes if you had a feather and I had that hanger we
would both be tickled! Good looking door! Good looking hanger!
