I am in the process of finishing my basement, which will include a pocket door leading to walk-in "toy closet". I have to modify the kit to fit the height of the space where the door is going to be installed. Therefore, I plan to build the door also. With this in mind I am looking for a little "engineering" help.
My plan is to build the frame for the door out of 1/2 inch material and skin the door with 1/4 luann(? sp) on both sides so it can be primed and painted to match the wall color. Can I join the frame with biscuts or should I use pocket hole joinery? My theroy is that biscuts should be strong enough, but no telling what kind of abuse it will take from three kids going in and out constantly.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
