Hi all
I want to change the door on my garage to something that suits my needs better. I use it as a home workshop and the current up and over door is the only method of entry, there are benches down either side with an aisle down the centre. What I was hoping to do is make 3 wooden doors, 1 hinged on the left hand side of the frame, and a double door hanging on the right - I could then just open the centre part for access or swing them all open should I need too. Got a few questions though
- Assuming each door is approx 27" wide, will the double door hang properly or is it likely to sag? Would I be best to use some sort of gate hinge on the door to frame part and standard hinges on the door to door join ?
- The doors will be a fairly simple frame with some sort of panel (either board or T&G) To make the frame can I use biscuit joints
- I'm doing this on a budget so hardwood is out, I'll have to go with whatever the local DIY shed has, if I give it a good going over with some sort of preservative and then use a quality paint are the doors likely to last or am I on a hiding to nothing.
Thanks for any help and advice you can give
Cheers
Jim
