I built a hay barn 30 years ago wit track doors on the inside. Track doors and wind don�t mix, inside or out side. The track doors mounted inside are difficult to keep fastened tight because the wind pressing against them . Best I found to secure a door 12-16 feet wide is to dig a hole in the floor and put a 5 gallon pail in the hole, and fill it with concrete with a section of pipe in the wet concrete. All several inches below the door itself, so the door can travel over the anchor. The pipe must line up with the inside of the closed door. With a very simple bracket mounted on the door, you can drop a length of pipe or bar through the door bracket into the pipe in the concrete anchor. You can put these at both ends of the door and one or two in the middle depending on the size of the door to relieve the stress of the wind pushing against the middle of the door. This method also takes the load off of the vertical post in the doorway itself, because all of the load is placed on the anchors in the floor. Sliding doors inside are not bothered by snow, ice or grass building up along the outside walls of the shed, but in the case of a hay barn, care must be taken to maintain clear space for the door to travel. These are just my experience, Bruce

JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
