Building a door for shed

As I mentioned in a prev post on framing nailers, I'm building an 8x10 lean-to type shed beide my house to get rid of all non-woodworking stuff from my shop (garage). I'm not experienced at this type construction so I'm feeling my way along.

I will have two doors (front yard/back yard, fence on one end). I was thinking of 36x80, plenty wide for my mower etc.

I've looked at some other home built sheds and a lot of folks just nail some

I was thinking of a frame and 2 panel type set up with M & T's cut in 2x4s, with 1x4 framing, surrounding the door - sort of my own made up version of a pre-hung. But I can't find any dimensioned lumber (2x's etc) that even come close to being straight enough for something like that.

Suggestions / options ? Am I overkilling this for a shed ? Just nail a frame to some t-111 and forget it ?

I agree with you, it sounds like overkill IMHO.

How about the frame & T-111 with 1x3's nailed on the outside to simulate a frame & panel door?
