I have a 8' x 4' skylight in our warehouse. It is about 24' off the
floor.

We like to get a motorized shade to completely block out sunlight when
we need to. This shade will have to be mounted within the wood framing
below the skylight. Does anyone know of someone who sell something
like that?

Hunter Douglas sells Powershade, but it is only up to 6' in length for
the motorized version.

Thanks for any tips!

Here are pics and videos of the skylight:

Note that there is an acrylic sheet mounted under the skylight doors,
but it is out of the way. The shades will be mounted under it.

Common roll-up garage and storage doors come in many widths and
lengths. One of those (like from Ideal, for example) and an ordinary
garage door opener and you would be in business. Some cleverness and
skill will be involved in framing, mounting, etc, but it seems an easy
way to get the shade you need HTH
