Probably not sturdy enough for what you need, but called to mind a project I needed for a Christmas play in 2003. The setting for the play was in an over full garage used as storage for Christmas decorations. Early in the play the garage door had to open (but did not have to close as part of the play). So, I took a carpet or linoleum tube which was about 4" or 5" in diameter which still had the end cores with about a 1" hole. Then I found a wire spool that was about 10" or 12" in diameter, somehow affixed it to one end of the tube, and put 3/4" pipe through each end to serve as the axle. Upright 2x4" were firmly fastened to the meeting room floor for the axle pipes to fit through them. Baler wire was wound around the wire spool in such a manner that when pulled, it wound up the black plastic which served as the garage door. Of course that only had to work two times - for the dress rehearsal and the play presentation - so, like I said not substantial enough for your needs, but maybe some ideas for a stronger construction.
