Sliding doors would be the lowest cost doors. Hanging tracks to support the doors will be your toughest problem. It does not look like the building was designed to have sliding doors added. Is there a header above the door openings or are the bottom of the end trusses the only headers? You can probably double up or triple the bottom of the end trusses to carry the extra weight of the doors. You will need to cut the siding on the end walls to fasten a track to the structure. Add a spacer around the door opening so the doors roll clear of the siding.
A strong wind blowing against the inside of a sliding door can tilt a door out enough to lift it off the track. You can add a posts or rollers at the center of the doors, at the door frames and at the corners of the building to contain the bottom of the doors when they are open.
From the picture it does not look like there are any extra cross braces on the short end walls or in the corners. It looks like the sheet metal and the buried ends of the posts are the only things keeping the building from racking. I would add cross braces in the corners to keep the building from racking sideways. The same for the posts supporting the side sheds.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
