Default Shed Question

i have a 16x20 with the same hinge setup and had no issues

I'd go with the piano hinge again


I think a handful of people suggested piano hinges but most others
recommended bolting in hinges saying it would work better and last
longer. Since we've had to move the exsisting hinges three times to
keep the doors on, I'm not sure how well that would work on this shed.

Typically piano hinges are not suitable for out door weather. Tiny
hinge pins can quick rust if the hinge is exposed to weather. they
probably work well in some instances but are not really built for this
purpose.
