I have a dying door to my garage and I can't seem to locate a replacement. the sheds only have house doors, which are too big. I need a more basic but sound item. Any ideas on sources for such things? Couldn't find one on internet either. Thansk for any help you can give.

Go to B&Q, or Jewsons, buy enough PT&G floor boards, lay them out in a door shape, cut more to brace, screw together through the braces, adding small coach bolts to re-inforce (heads out), affix with "T" hinges, fit tower bolts or padlock. "Creosote". Job done.

I certainly ain't going to find the size you want though...too much like hard work doing the conversion.
Mike has brought this to us :
Get a sheet of 1/4 marine ply cut to the above size, then add a timber frame screwed to the rear of it to give it the appropriate thickness you need.
Get a couple of sheets of 9mm or 12mm exterior ply, cut to size, glue and pin together with 19mmx38mm or 25mmx38mm battens in between. Don't forget to add battens to take the screws where you will be mounting latches or bolts. Paint, paying particular attention to the edges.
