[QUOTE="Trevanion, post: 1335276, member: 29107"] The simplest ones to produce that I've found are the [url=https://briouk.com/]Brio[/url] bi-folding gears as they've got very clear instructions and a very helpful help-line if you're stuck on something. It might be worth giving them a ring and asking whether they've got something that'd work for you if you're dead-set on a bi-fold. Again, on a 3m opening, I'd probably have a 500mm light/panel either side of the door frame and then a 2m wide french door in the middle to keep it very simple, inexpensive and reliable. In my opinion, on a house, a bi-fold is a pure waste of money for most people as they only ever open the one door to enter and exit and very rarely if ever open all the doors, especially in Wales' climate which is mostly sideways rain :lol:. Although, your proposed bi-folder is for your workshop which may have some benefits like being able to get certain equipment in and out easier and having a bit more air-flow in the summer when it does get hot for about a week.
