Permanent Door Fix for our Shelter Logic Garage in a Box

[@catgynt9148]

Once the cats are done playing with the zippered door that was removed, staple it on the inside of the door to seal cracks and allowing air to infiltrate while water seeps down. If you are going to add corrugated roofing to the sides, consider adding a translucent UV stabilized panel on the roof crest allowing light to infiltrate into the storage shed. The cat door is genius. You’d better watch the child that suggested it; she is going to go far if allowed. Have you considered adding a couple shipping containers for a build similar to April & Red have on their homestead. (Red and April, Off-Grid Home Build.) Wishing you and your family a blessed new year. Greetings from NE Ohio. Peace

I love how you made this. Truly a great solution for your problems. Not that its remotely the same, but we put a kitty door on my son's garage inside door entrance to the main house. We put our kitty litter boxes out there to save space and keep any smell and any litter mess out of the house. We tried several indoor spots before this and the garage was the best solution. Ours has a lockable flap so we can keep them inside the house if we need the garage opened for extensive time. They now use the garage as their 'kitty apartment' and safe place to be alone if my granddaughter bugs them too much. They are not fans of being stuffed in her doll house.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Awesome! I think we need to put some kind of flap on it for sure. They seem to like it though!

[@GrannySanny]

I'm impressed. We have a metal and canvas pergola that is giving us trouble with the zippers. This is giving me ideas on how we might retrofit it.

[@gailbenjamin5137]

When the canvas goes, bend steel sheeting over the top and opaque poly carbonate along the bottom for light, just a thought.🤗

[@MarkdWallis]

Love it! I live a few miles south of you and deal with the same winds. My shelter is new but I dislike the zipper door and now have an idea of what to do ....Thank you!

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

Nice! Yes, when life happens, our minds can be very inventive. It is exciting to come up with new solutions. Great job!!! I like the kitty door too!

[@angel-astanfield7939]

We have one of these and you are giving me ideas for making a more permanent shop for us. Thanks guys. Looks great!😊

[@StoneKathryn]

It looks cold you guys. The kittens want to help, NOT. I like this idea of beefing up the bones of the garage shelter logic kit. Nice job! That door frame looks really nice. Wow, I've never seen a door built standing up. It looks fantastic. I love the cat door! I like the rocks at the bottom too. It really does look wonderful. Take a bow guys! It is important to have a dry area to store stuff.

[@trudylatchman2002]

Amazing work you gave this ole lady some ideas!

[@thetexianpatriot2201]

Good Morning Tiny Shiny Crew! I look forward to your videos every morning. You Guys Rock!

[@pamelamilton6755]

Nothing more satifying than see someone build something..Awesome job family!

[@sabriyyaabdur-rauf1708]

I really like your approach to this project and the finished door was great. But truly, I could not keep my eyes off that beautiful sky in your final minutes of the video. Awesome gift from the Creator!!!

[@sabriyyaabdur-rauf1708]

from 20:13 to 21:32

[@eagleturtleyarnell7048]

i will be doing this on my 4 portable garages from HF where i built art projects & sculptures ... one is already covered on the *sunlit side* in the sheet metal from a defunct 8x8 shed, one with heavy vinyl donated from awning company when replacing old ... the ends are gonna require solid work, ive replaced numerous times since 2009. Yours is pretty, mine will not be, but doors will open OUT cause i need the interior space when doors are open. Your frameup has saved me time and headscratching ... woopee!

[@melissathomas8505]

Love the barn doors!!!! So rustic!!! Awesome!!!

[@Simbabeck]

OH My!! Hyper Adobe Solar and Chicken Garden and now... and Now... a Barn Door... is there nothing that you cannot do??? Y'all ROCKING the Homestead!!

[@howiemandell5237]

Awesome job! I really liked the burnt wood look and that the whole family was involved.

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

Lol. I sincerely love how you guys work together... Also you are sometimes unsure if you know what you are doing, yet it always looks like you know exactly what you are doing! Lol. Love it!

[@anneparisi1828]

Wow, that’s really good - really like that door. Good job everyone !!! Even the kittens 🐈‍⬛ approve 👍

[@kirstenb7105]

I have a shelter logic that started falling apart at the ribs at 6 months. I live in Oregon. I love this idea!

[@foretb1162]

For the inside areas, might I suggest a light frame of left over wood strips, staple the ends together and then put 2 ply of vapor barrier plastic panels. These can be as solid as you want them to be. Affix the top of the panel on the bottom of each door. Being your doors open to the outside, use a piece of OSB board (they're pretty much waterproof - at least for a couple of years), do the burn thing (will add some amazing detail) and place it over the front panel of one of the doors. When you open them, the protector panel goes with the door. When closed, it "seals" the center gap. Or, you can go with the rubber stuff you use to line a bottom drawer shelf - they sell it at the dollar stores, thick-"ish"rubbery liner. Glue it to a piece of stiff cardboard and voilà, easy, cheap baffle. Of course, you'd put that on one of the insides of the doors. You could repeat that at the bottom too. For the adhesive, try the spray on Super 77 or E6000, then staple in place for extra security.

[@annfuellenbach4257]

I guess I'm watching your creative videos backwards? I'm glad you fixed the hoopstorage. I had one for lonly 6 months. The frame did not hold 2 feet of snow. It was one of those surprises storms. Anyway you make things look easy. Love the look. In less than a 150 days look what your family has accomplished. I'm in awe over your Awesomeness. Blessings, Peace out G'Ma

[@vickismallwood2082]

That door looks fantastic.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Great job it looks beautiful. Yes our winds are very strong and do alot of damage.

[@steveloar7561]

Hi. I have a similar structure from harbor freight and the main tarp was starting to degrade from uv also. I ordered another heavy duty tarp on eBay for about $100 to go over the original cover. The new cover protects the original cover from uv. The new cover is longer than the frame by about a foot. I made several extra holes in the edge of the tarp with a hot nail. Then use a 3/16 cord strung through the holes to secure the new tarp. Good luck

[@Sparkysings2]

Love this idea! The Sugiban (sp?) doors are awesome and the cat door is the best idea. Thanks for always showing your pets. They are all so cute. The kids are such good help. Great job guys!

You could cut down the old front and tack it to the inside doors to keep rain out.

Great job and good thinking. I bet it was expensive given the price of lumber these days. As for catching rain, I think rounded is perfect. There is a solution and you will figure it out.

[@barbarastefani254]

[@faithrada]

Great solution for the Shelter Logic. 👍 Looks sharp too.

[@MrBrucester]

Wow you guys are getting to be really good at construction ! Very nice job! I like the kitty entrance. Keep up the good work and videos and thank you for sharing.

[@lylewagner2118]

That is awesome! I have been kicking around how to fix ours!

[@la196]

You did such a beautiful job...one day you could just build your own barn to match onto that door:) You are all a great team together!

[@theupsideofdownsizing]

Great solution! The reverse engineering of the door was brilliant! Thanks for the video and the "game plan" for our Shelter Logic tent "upgrade".👍🏻

[@itsno1duh]

A sigh of relief for your crew and it looks fabulous! I imagine the first easy egress! ahhh!!!

[@hollybarnes2346]

It would be possible to take some of the charcoal from brushing the sho shugiban(sp) mixed with the oil brushed on the raw ends and it would preserve and match the rest of the door front! Terrific way to fix a problem! You all rock!

[@NanaTrece9444]

Cool looking door. I love your creativity it is so fun to watch. Cat door --- absolutely genius.

[@joyclymer7377]

Love the door! So very clever.

[@sandypratt8951]

Love the look of the door.❤️👍👍👍

[@jessestanley6381]

Great job very professional looking

[@Alltarious]

You guys have never done anything like that before? That is a testament to your know how and ingenuity. The fact that its gorgeous to boot is just the cake topper. Knocked it out of the park with this. I cant wait to see what you do to cover the "roof" I've seen some beautiful roofing metal some that even look like clay tile didn't even know those existed until the nomadic movement put them on their build. I'm guessing you'll just cut the tarp off at that point?

[@Alltarious]

save the tarp maybe use it like john said as a back seal for water on the inside of the wood? im sure theres some sort of glue for said purpose.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks! Yeah we'll cut it off and replace with metal paneling hopefully soon. Just need to price out a few options.

[@OWK000]

Those frame tents are nice in that you can live with the canvas and upgrade as it fails as you go along.

[@tomflarida825]

That looks great

[@srice6231]

I love the cat door! So cute!

[@mitchellmcpherson8489]

Always inspired by the work crew, worked the same way with my family, mostly when Judy and I colluded, her brains, my brain. I was hoping you would be able to tie that metal frame to those planted 4×'s anchoring the whole structure. Love from Mitch and Judy

[@valeriebostick1913]

Nice job looking good

[@bonahisme]

I know you get lots of suggestions from all of us...... I would like to make one. When it comes time to clad the outside of the sheds, you might want to consider using a polly roof panel on the top center run. Then you will be able to get some natural light inside. Much love from Jonah in Alaska❤️‍🔥

[@cbgb3369]

Fully brilliant idea!

[@BrainStormAcres]

Nice job guys. Hope the rainstorms treated you kindly! Take care.

Love that the cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 have their door too, staple a faux leather cover so rain won’t get in that too😉

[@jamesfarley337]

I like it it looks good old barn door

[@EarthCreature.]

Awesome barn style in the making. Btw get "ecowood". It will petrify your wood & stand the test of time. It's used for wood docking on lakes and coastlines. You just spray it on while your wood is still pristine & uncompromised by water. For now, hope you have a small hand torch to seal those outer trims

[@dannyallen520]

Hay the doors looks good 👍🏻 good joy team work

[@carrieraupp757]

Looks really nice.

[@sth.777]

The door looks amazing! What about using the old tarp covering bits to drape over the feed, etc. in the shelter when driving rains come, once you get the new roofing on? It might not be useable as roof, but it would help stop soaking inside... you could also use the tarp as a cat flap door to keep direct rains out a bit better (maybe also strips attached along the bottom of the door for that purpose)... also, if it's a metal roof, are you going to afix some kind of insulation to the "ceiling" to keep it from cooking your chicken grains (and cats!) in the heat? Can't wait to see what you come up with to upgrade the shelter to a permanent one!

[@TinyShinyHome]

We already do that for hay and alfafa for sure, thanks :) No insulation, but we'll build in some kind of airflow or vent.

[@killcrazyvegan]

@@TinyShinyHome metal panels rapidly re-radiate from hot to cold, ventilation isn’t going to cure it. The temp swings inside will be worse than outside, really bad for storage. Feed will ferment, cardboard will go to mush, plastic will embrittle and shatter, etc. Plus corrugated metal panels are too heavy for the poles, by the time you get done you’ll have built an inferior shed with a hoop frame attached to the interior...maybe use uv-stabilized resin panels lengthwise with strategic blocking and bracing to control shear force - leave a gap at the top and use a ridge vent or diy one from roll ridge vent (there’s prolly cheaper ways to DIY a leakproof ridge vent)... You could put some mesh over the fabric and paint latex cement over it. Latex cement seems to be worth about 5 years of desert southwest exposure, longer if you regularly paint it over with roof coating...Maybe add an extra fabric layer under the mesh if the existing fabric doesn’t stick to the cement. The mesh will make it a concrete shell and the shape from the hoops is self-supporting. Zipties to attach the mesh to the hoops, diy some kind of simple standoff. You’ll need some interior bracing whilst applying the cement, a few t-poles should suffice. If you haven’t thrown away the door fabric already, save it and I’ll come by and get it this month for a latex cement experiment. I suspect it’s not going to stick but act more like a peel ply. I’m assuming it’s like the cheap supposedly weatherproof tarps I get at Home Depot (leaked like a sieve after two months of Tucson monsoon season...). whew! sorry I got carried away. DM/IM/PM me if you want to follow up.

[@arnulfob3454]

I love those cats , thanks for the great ideas !

[@marvinfalk5959]

The latest bizzard ripped the top apart on my identicle Shelter Logic, a 12 by 20. Contrary to yours the frame skeleton wasn't sufficient for the snow load. In purchasing another kit for its tarp to save the contents I used the redundant frame parts to shorten the spacing between verticle bars and and add two horizontal frame rails up top. Fingers crossed it will get me through the next Canadian blizzard.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Interesting about the snow load - if it accumulated on the tarp part yeah I could see the whole thing failing. Sorry you've had so much trouble with them!

[@propagandapandas]

Hot tip. Once you burn through the canvas cover the roof and sides with corrugated roofing itll look like a mini barn

[@SilverLady61]

Price not bad for a long term solution and it will save you $ and 🤨 against supply and feed loss. Good Job!!!!

[@johnbowen1493]

Okay guys, just a tip for cutting your mortise joints. Once you cut the wafers and break them out, you can use your saw like a router and shafe the plate of your joints to the exact depth you need since your saw depth is already set. Simply turn your skill saw on and pull the guard back and use the edge of the blade to shave the wood to the exact depth you need. Just for future reference you can also mount your saw in a plywood table at about 45 degrees and make raised panel doors too. Just some tips to keep in mind to make things faster for yourselves.
