The shop I built was 20' wide and I thought an insulated overhead door was to expensive. So I checked on airport hanger style doors. They were real expensive too, but close study showed they are a very simple door. So I built one 14' wide, and 12' high. A two piece door. 1/4" plywood inside and out 1/2" thick framework, 1 1/2"thick polystyrene insulation Heavy strap hinges at the joint between the top and bottom. More heavy hinges at the top to fasten it to the top of the door frame, and a piece of two inch channel iron up each side and roller bearings which rode in the channel iron to guide it when it went up and down. also a piece of angle iron on the inside along the bottom to hook the lifting cables to. Cables ran from each side of the door through pulleys to the other end of the 40'building with Oliver front end weights on them for counterweights. Also had small electric winch to raise and lower the door. You don't need windows, just put in some LED lighting like my grandson put in his and it will be brighter than daylight.
