Menards just opened in our area, so went to look at their shed doors. Unfortunately they are not kept in stock and take 4-6 weeks to receive. They are foam core insulated steel doors (2), pre-hung on a steel frame. Has anyone had any experience with these? Or Menards?
We need to replace or rebuild our shed doors and this may be a better than wood. It will offer more security and should be easy enough to hang once the door is framed. Any thoughts or advice on this?
Menard's doors will run about $269, free delivery to store. I haven't priced out parts/lumber for a wood shed door, but it's barn style doors 5'11" by 7'1". The original doors never alighed completely so never bolt lock on the inside, just an outside padlock. Also the cross wood (decoration) got water behind it and caused those pieces to rot and started the doors rotting. If we go wood, we would bolt the door thru the hinges instead of screw as the originals were as we had to move them three times due to trim wood failure.
My husband and I have been trying to get outside things done before winter, ergo I've been asking a few questions lately. Since I work from home, and have more woodworking experience, I get to field this work and research. So, any advice or information is appreciated. `Casper
