My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Gas Springs

13 years ago
Looks great. Can you tell me how you got the the gas springs custom. How did you know the length and tension? We had the same window/door just installed and we are now trying to figure out the best way to get it lifted up.

    Did you ever figure out the length or tension. We are currently building a cabin with the indoor outdoor bar and left the 4x8 opening. Any help would be great.

    we found a custom gas shock manufacturer in Canada. they took the weight of the door, size, and distance we wanted it to open and custom built them for our needs.
