Existing Roll up door that was damaged by the wind. The "inside" portion of the door is not covered by a roof and thus exposed to weather. Door has been in place for +-9 years. With Strong winds this weekend it pulled out of the riverts and torn in the top mid section. I would need something that is probabaly 40 cm longer than a standard door so that top section when closed forms a closed drum tipe of look so that wind cannot damage it.
