Side sectional garage doors: what matters for Ferndown garages

Side sectional doors are more specialised, so they usually cost more than an equivalent overhead sectional door.
Can you use it as a pedestrian door?
Yes. Because the door slides sideways, you can open it just far enough to walk through, which saves having a separate side door.
