Do you care about weatherproofing? With many doors, the last bit of
travel makes the top part of the door "jam" forward and seal the door.
If the door was vertical the first few feet, you likely wouldn't be able
to have a tight seal or it would scrape the seal off in a few cycles.
I've sent pics of my setup to the list a few times, but basically I
modified my tracks so that the "horizontal" part at the top of the door
wasn't horizontal but actually inclined upwards. So over the lift there
is actually more height.
