I have a raised house with a bar under the house. I knocked a wall and window out and want to replace with a garage door for the open air and view. When the door is closed I want to be able to still have the view which opens to a canal which is nice to look at while having a drink. Looking into garage doors but want to go with all glass panels instead of the sheet metal. Problem is, regular garage door is about $700 and the glass doors are $3500 and up. Anyone have a lead on someone local around North shore area who might be more reasonable? The door is only 7'x7' and I'm ok going with a manual opening setup

Screen won't keep the cold out during winter...

What about a big barn door using glass doors and a v roller and track? Do you have room to the side?

If you want to save money and still have a view just get a panel with windows.

Have you considered a couple of glass sliding patio doors? If you want full open, get a couple of glass French doors and mount them side by side.

I've considered sliding doors and french doors

Only problem I see with those is that when a hurricane comes through, sometimes we get a few feet of water in the area and I didn't want those doors to warp or water get trapped inside the glass inserts. Sliding doors also might catch hell with the tracks with the storm surge as well due to mud coming with that water. Barn door type setup is an option. Might just build something. I really like the idea of bifold glass doors that raise vertically


I do realize that this setup would be even more expensive but it's pretty sweet
