In the thread showing the progress of Jim Ketron's shop, Larry Merlau asked for details about the double doors that I have built for my shop. I promised him to start a new thread on the subject.
This is that thread. It is a spin-off from the thread entitled "Frank's Workshop Construction Project" (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=7769).
Material: Rough sawn 3/4 inch plywood, rough-sawn 1 inch pine boards, and 1" rigid foam insulation, and 5 milimetre G1S plywood for the interior side.
Weight: About 80 pounds each
Dimensions: Height: 78 inches
Overall width: 66 inches
Thickness: 3 inches
Overlap: 1.5 inches
Pictures: In the belief that a picture is worth a thousand words, I will show how I build these things using pictures. If anyone wants an explanation of something that is not obvious from the pictures, please ask.
Picture (1) shows the outside of the two doors. This side has the same stain as my board and batten siding will have. (I have not yet installed the doors on the shed, so they are resting against my garage wall.)
Picture (2) shows the inside of one of the doors. Notice the lip. This side has been primed but not yet painted. It will be painted white like the rest of the interior of my shop.
Picture (3) shows the back of a door under construction and you can see the overlap that is being built in the eliminate wind between the doors.
Pictures (4) and (5) show a close-up of the lips on the left and right side doors (respectively)
