I like the idea of these and saw them on
http://www.amourelle.co.uk/barn-doors.htm

However our barn has a centre support running up the middle

which would
mean the opener couldn't be positioned centrally.

Also it would be very useful to be able to open the doors seperately.

Need to protect the cars from the doors opening if the car is in the way as
well.
