Hello, This isn't exactly what I'd call a woodworking question but it's close enough probably not to offend. I have a reach-in closet with an 8 foot opening that previously housed huge bypass doors. Three of them.... it was a very odd and unfunctional arrangement.
What I am considering is adding a post in the center of the opening and using two sets of double doors. I would lose a bit of closet space from the post but I think it would look great from the room and I can deal with the space loss.
I suspect that you can't just toenail a couple 2x4's in the center to the floor and header and work from there. Can anyone tell me the proper installation of such a post? I'd rather have the openings free of any kind of bracing blocks etc on the floor.
thanks very much ml
