“Crazy Cool” bifold door sidesteps zoning restriction for unique motorhome garage!

Now you see it, now you don't. Herb Korthuis of Lynden, Washington needed to find a way to be able to garage his 45 ft. motorhome, but a local zoning ordinance prevented him from building a garage with a door higher than 8 feet. It was Schweiss to the rescue with a 16 ft. x 12 ft. bifold liftstrap door, which when in the closed position gives the visual of an 8 ft. door.

Korthuis had a contractor attach a conventional garage door front with windows to the bottom half of the Schweiss doorframe and finished off the top with siding that exactly matched his new home. In the closed position you can just barely see the seams on the door sides. It alleviated the building inspector's concerns.

He decided to cover the 25' x 14' door with polycarbonate windows to highlight the great view outside. “I was sitting in the garage looking out the hydraulic door (with no cladding on it) and thinking ‘This is a great view, maybe I should try to preserve that.’”
