Assuming that this is a pole barn . . we made vertical "jamb-extenders" out of ripped, treated 2x6's. Attached them by pre-drilling the holes in them and attached using 60d ring shank nails. Above, we used a horizontal track board attached to the end-wall truss or on the header if in sidewall. These boards, or extenders, allowed the door to slide by the ribs of the sidewall metal. To keep the door from blowing out in a wind, we used stay rollers attached to a treated 2x4 nailed to the face of the bottom skirt board and then used either cam lock or chain snuggers to keep the door tight against the jambs. The sliding door has to be wider than the opening, of course, so a 36 ft wide building with a 18ft endwall door would actually have a 17'-9" opening size. There are several good brands out there of the cam locks or rod/chain snuggers. We used mostly Plyco but Cannonball and A-OK were good, too. Very little problems, if ever, with rain or snow.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
