Installation Gallery
See TruGlide roll up doors installed on metal buildings, carports, self storage, and more.
This gallery shows real TruGlide roll up garage doors installed on working buildings — steel and metal buildings, self storage facilities, enclosed carports, storage sheds, and pole barns. Each photo is paired with the door sizes commonly used for that application and the hardware behind it, so you can match what you see to your own opening before requesting pricing. Every door pictured is built to order and assembled at our facility in Mount Airy, North Carolina.

Installed TruGlide doors
Metal building installation
A framed opening on a steel building finished with a TruGlide roll up door. Metal building openings are most often ordered at 10x10, 12x12, or 14x14, and the guides fasten directly to the jamb tube or wood nailer.
Self storage facility
Multi-unit storage buildings run a repeating door size across the whole row. 5x7, 6x7, 8x7, and 10x8 are the workhorse sizes, and volume orders are quoted as a single production run.
Enclosed carport
Carport companies enclose an open bay with a single roll up door, typically 9x7, 10x8, or 12x12. The compact roll means no overhead track eating into the interior of the structure.
Storage shed
Portable buildings and backyard sheds use the smaller end of the range — 5x7, 6x6, and 6x7 — where low headroom rules out a sectional door.
Pole barn
Wood-framed pole barns take the same door as a steel building, with guides lagged to the post or girt framing. Equipment bays commonly run 12x12 up to 16x16.
Drum and bearing hardware
A close look at the hardware behind the curtain: heavy-gauge brackets, sealed bearings, and a barrel assembly specified for daily commercial cycling rather than occasional residential use.
Installations by application
The same door platform covers every building type below. What changes is the opening size, how the guides attach, and whether the door is operated by chain hoist or electric opener. Measuring guidance for all of them is in the roll up garage door size guide.
Metal buildings
Steel buildings are the most common TruGlide application. Guides mount to the jamb tube or wood nailer around the framed opening, and 10x10, 12x12, and 14x14 cover most shop and equipment bays. Details are on the roll up doors for metal buildings page.
Self storage facilities
Storage developers order one repeating size across an entire row, most often 5x7 through 10x8, and take volume pricing on the full run. See self storage roll up doors for unit-size guidance.
Carports and enclosed bays
Enclosing an open carport bay usually calls for a single 9x7, 10x8, or 12x12 door. Because the curtain rolls up on a barrel instead of running back on an overhead track, the interior of the structure stays clear.
Sheds and portable buildings
Backyard sheds and portable buildings use the small end of the range — 5x7, 6x6, and 6x7 — where limited headroom rules out a sectional door. More on the shed roll up doors page.
Pole barns and ag buildings
Wood-framed barns take the same door as a steel building, with guides lagged to posts or girts. Equipment access typically runs 12x12 to 16x16, where an electric opener is often specified in place of a chain hoist.
Installation gallery FAQs
What sizes are the doors in these photos?
The doors shown range from 5x7 shed doors up to 16x16 equipment bay doors. TruGlide builds to order from 3 ft to 16 ft wide and 7 ft to 16 ft tall, so the size in any photo can be matched to your own rough opening.
Can I install a TruGlide door myself?
Yes. Every door ships with our installation manual, and builders and erectors routinely hang them with two people and standard tools. Measure the rough opening and confirm headroom and sideroom before ordering so the guides and barrel fit the opening.
What colors are shown in the gallery?
Standard TruGlide colors are White, Barn Red, Black, Earth Brown, Evergreen, Pewter Gray, and Quaker Gray. Any door in these photos can be ordered in any of those colors at no change in lead time.
How long do these doors take to build?
Doors are assembled to order at our facility in Mount Airy, North Carolina, and typical production is measured in days rather than the multi-week backlogs common with sectional doors. Your written quote confirms the lead time for your order.
Do these doors come with a warranty?
Yes. Every TruGlide door carries a one-year warranty covering the curtain, hardware, and workmanship. Full terms and the claim process are on our warranty page.
