Hi all!
I'm about to build 2 swing out shop doors to replace a 10' wide roll up door. I'm going to build torsion box style doors to save on weight but still have the strength I want. a couple questions. Since the doors will be almost 5' wide, and about 88" tall, what is the best way to route the webbing? Just straight across, or do it on a diagonal for strength to help prevent sagging? Any one know where I can buy tamper proof hinges for this weight of doors? I have had some good ideas from another thread on the woodworking forum a few weeks ago, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd like to hear them. I plan on using 1/2" plywood for the webbing, 3/8" ply for the skin. What type of wood should I use for the edging, just standard 2X4..yellow pine or white wood? Anything else you can think of that I'll need? Thanks for your help and ideas! Jim.
