Thanks to your video I was able to make new doors for my 20+ year old shed.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

I subbed. Loved this presentation, esp. when you speed up the process.

[@EverydayShed]

Welcome to the channel 🙌

[@williesimpson6757]

That’s a great heavy duty door. Thank you

[@EverydayShed]

You bet

[@alexlim803]

Well done, mate. Let us know when you update with material list! Look forward to replacing my own shed doors.

[@EverydayShed]

It should be up. Thanks for watching.

[@bradswanson3824]

Excellent video! Well Done!

[@EverydayShed]

Thx!

[@byrne1916]

I could not figure out how the front of a shed gets made until now... Thanks a lot dude ☘️

[@EverydayShed]

Thank you.

[@rcsmith8402]

Well done. Those look like great sturdy doors to go onto a well built shed. Keep it up!

[@EverydayShed]

Thanks, will do!

[@kcalais1]

Love the video. Exactly what I was looking for and your explanation of everything is very easy to follow. I had an idea of how to construct but you added to finer details

[@EverydayShed]

Thanks for the feedback!

Best house l have seen so far

[@EverydayShed]

Awesome!

[@tvs3497]

Very nice, well-done video. Love those hinges... and clamps are so helpful. I am building my 8x12 shed. I framed for a standard pre-hung 3' door, then I shopped and checked the prices. Maybe I buy one for $300 or just build one like you did. I'm already going over budget ( I don't even have a budget). Do you hate cutting plywood with a skill saw? I sure do. I think before I start building my house next year, I will build a radial arm saw that spans at least 8'. Then just throw the plywood on the table and let the motorized saw do the rest while I stand back and watch.

[@EverydayShed]

It’s not easy to cut plywood with circular saw, but if you use clamps and a straight edge it’s okay… now, the important tip is to have a new blade. Good luck on your build.

[@j.mccarthy3008]

Thank you!! I’ve been thinking about replacing the door on my shed. This helps a lot!!

[@EverydayShed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@instrumentals4310]

Great video!!! I have a question about the spacers. If you use 1/2" spacers, wouldn't the doors bang into each other? b/c if I measure the width minus 1/2" (divided x2) to build the doors, wouldn't I need 1/4" spacers? I'm just checking b/c I'm about to build my doors and I want to make sure I double check these measurements. Thanks!!!!

[@EverydayShed]

I made a new video and I used 1/4 inch for each door. Total l 1/2in gap… that worked much better.

[@EmpireTextbooks]

What type of wood is used for the door frame? They look like 2x4s except more like a fancier trim type of board. Please help!!!!

[@EmpireTextbooks]

For the frame of the door are those 2x4s?

[@shepherdgirl9397]

Thank you for sharing the door dimensions verses the opening . 3/4 less on top and 1/2 less for the side.

[@EverydayShed]

Yes, i hope it helps.

[@jakeschmidt4320]

Good video

[@EverydayShed]

Thank you!

[@dennissmith5837]

I really like your shed build but I have a question. How did you seal between the doors without any over lap. In Wisconsin when water gets in a gap like that it may not dry out. Thanks for a great video.

[@EverydayShed]

Great point, i never did anything there. I suggest you to add a piece of trim board on the inside of one of the doors.

[@chris76-01]

You can also install regular door weather stripping all around it.

[@BobClarizio]

Good information 🎉

[@EverydayShed]

Thanks 🙌

[@southbayproducts5371]

Great work Thank you

[@EverydayShed]

Awesome... thanks for watching.

[@coldisle]

This was very helpful. What thickness plywood did you use? Thanks!!

[@EverydayShed]

I used regular roof OSB 7/16"

[@coldisle]

Thanks very much!

[@asmdre84]

How do you prevent rodents from getting in the shed through gaps in the door? I have a similar style door and with the changes in temperature the gaps expand or contract

[@EverydayShed]

Great question…. That should make a great video. Let me look into it. Thanks

[@jaketerveer445]

Metal plating on the threshold/sill usually helps. At least down at the bottom where they're most likely to try and slip in. Metal is much harder for their little claws to grab onto in order to climb up and in. It also serves as an edge protector!

[@roycox4415]

So 3/4 less than opening height and 1/2 less than opening width and then divide the remaining width distance by two to get each doors width measurements?

[@EverydayShed]

Yes…. Exactly that!

[@roycox4415]

[@paulrandazzo1391]

It looks like you used OSB for the inside of the doors not plywood. What thickness OSB did you use? Nice video

[@EverydayShed]

Yes!, it was an OSB, i used 7/16"

[@tombo552001]

I want to build a double door but I have one problem and hope you can help me. The left door the ground slops up and I need the door swing up so it won't drag on the cement. Any ideas? Thanks

[@EverydayShed]

That's a trick one, so like a swing up door type? Will a garage style door be a better solution?

[@tombo552001]

@@EverydayShed I'm wondering if I install the left hing on a angle if that will work ?

[@ianhutchinson2066]

How did you square those doors up?

[@EverydayShed]

I used the actual OSB as a guide to keep the framing square.

[@rogeliovmartinez]

nice👌

[@EverydayShed]

Thanks 😊

[@breemetravel1746]

So if the wind closes the door while you're in it, you are stuck!!

[@EverydayShed]

Lol,.. I’ll add a pull chain from the inside in the final video. Unless I get stuck inside

[@larryfisher4290]

what about overlap so rain don't blow in.

[@EverydayShed]

good point! My next door shed will definitely have overlaps. I like your idea.

[@livinglargeandfree8322]

YOU COUD OFFSET THE TRIM 3/4-1" ON THE OUTSIDE OR PUT A DOOR STOP AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR JAMB IS WHAT I DID .....I CUT BOTH MY DOORS 30X65 AND HAD TO ADD A SECOND BOTTOM PLATE AND OFFSET THE OUTSIDE TRIM......YEAH I QUIT SMOKING AFTER THAT WHEN BUILDING.....LOL

[@EverydayShed]

Thanks for the correction.

[@mrmudcatslim1004]

I think he means that the corners are square. Not that it is a square.

[@mnight207]

He obviously didn't say it was a square. He said the frame was square. Don't be a square dude

[@jimmypautz]

Half lap joints would make it even stronger, but your design should work fine with the panels sandwiching the framing. Also, with that style latch you need to drill a hole and thread some string/cordage through and tie it to the top of the latch to prevent getting locked in. I've typically seen people use a barrel latch on the top of the left side door to attach it to the top of the door frame for added stability.

[@EverydayShed]

Great points, in next shed I’ll try to incorporate some of these. Thanks

[@dsmith01ds]

[@EverydayShed]

Thank you!

[@christineahearn4087]

I’d end up screwing the plywood to the floor.

[@EverydayShed]

That works as well!

[@angelromero8273]

Criminals can gain access by unscrewing your hinges and stealing your chainsaw.

[@EverydayShed]

For sure… there are all kinds of bad people out there.

[@jlilly8144]

Was thinking the same thing. Need to secure it with round head bolts and nuts on the inside so it cannot be unscrewed.
