Fabric Building Kits: End Walls, Winch Doors and Man Doors

Covermore dual truss fabric building kits include end walls on both ends. Each end wall has a large door on a track, raised with a crank winch, plus a smaller walk-through man door. Here is how the end walls and doors on these building kits work.

Do the end walls come with the building kit?

Yes. Covermore's prefabricated dual truss building kits include end walls on both ends, and each end wall comes with a winch door and a man door already built in. You do not have to order the doors separately.

Can you add a winch door to a fabric building?

Yes. A winch door for a Covermore fabric building comes as a PVC end wall with the winch door built into it. On the dual truss models there is nothing to add, since that end wall is already part of the kit.

How does the big door open?

The large door on a Covermore dual truss building runs on a track and opens with a crank winch. Each end also has a standard walk-through man door, so you can get in and out without raising the big door every time.

How big is the largest door?

The largest door on any Covermore fabric building is either 16 feet wide by 18 feet high or 18 feet wide by 16 feet high, depending on the model. A 20-foot-wide door is not an option. Check whether your tallest and widest machine needs the extra height or the extra width before you pick a model.

Can you leave the end walls off?

Yes. The end walls on a Covermore fabric building kit install separately from the rest of the building, so you can leave them off. That suits an equipment shed where you do not need the ends enclosed.

Can you move the man door to the other side?

No. The man door on a Covermore fabric building end wall cannot be switched to the other side, because the buildings come as prefab kits. Historically the man door has been on the left side, but plan your site around where it falls rather than counting on moving it.

Do the doors roll up for airflow?

Yes, the end doors roll up, and they are the only part of a Covermore fabric building that does. The sidewalls do not have roll-up curtains: the cover tensions down to the base plates on both sides, all the way to ground level. For airflow beyond the end doors, the buildings typically come with vents at the top.

If you are picturing a greenhouse with sides that open, this is not that kind of building. Plan on moving air through the doors on each end and the vents up top.
