Track sections are 10 feet in length and come with pre drilled 3 8 holes for lag or through bolting to the observatory side walls and roof support system.

Also when the roof is closed the roof support beams do not stick out of the front of the observatory since they are tucked in on the side making the observatory more aesthetically pleasing. Our observatories have been built to any size that fit our customers needs from a cozy 9 5 x 9 5 all the way up to 24 x 40. With over 35 years of residential and commercial construction experience we ve constructed over 300 roll off roof observatories to date across the entire united states. This argued against a dome turret tower or even a roof that rolled off to the side on a gantry of rails and posts.

Instead what caught my eye was the roll down roof observatory described by astronomer david oesper and carpenter andy orngard of ames iowa in the may 1993 issue of sky telescope pages 90 93.
