Garage Door Mistake

[Ralph]

I have had a Garador sectional garage door fitted and I really don't like it. It's all fitted fine it's just that the running gear for it going over the ceiling is way more obtrusive than I had anticipated. It looks worse because the garage has been fully plaster boarded and is looking more like a nice room than a garage. 

What do we reckon the chances are of being able to sell it? I had to wait 6 months to get the bloody thing and I realise I've made a big mistake.

I don't know about selling it, but an electric roller door is much neater.

Someone will buy it and yes the roller tracks and supports can look pretty ugly. Rollers are much neater but require more head room to install

What I wanted was some hinged doors but I could not get any without spending loads and going over budget. I compromised on a sectional thinking it would not look so bad which was a mistake. 
I guess I'll have to live with it for now. I would take it off and store it so I could sell it as "never used" but it will take me ages to get a replacement.

 

Arrrggh I'm annoyed at myself. I bloody knew I did not like it but just wanted to get something and stay in budget.

think it’ll depend on the size, if it’s a commonly used size you’ll be fine although you probably won’t get what you paid for it. When we started looking for a garage door I checked gumtree and found one which was brand new, off a new build house where the owner had decided to make the garage into a room, he couldn’t get rid of it because it was so big, over 5 metres wide , he had continuously advertised it with no takers and by the time I saw it he had reduced it to £30 just to get it away out of his road, great for us but not so good for him!
