Now its like this. I have a shed door that used to open fine, but now

Other than trying to jack it up a bit more at the front I'm at a loss.

anyone else had this sort of problem. I fear it may mean a new shed in
the
end as this one is quite old and in need of tlc, so jacking it up is
going
to make it tend to fall to bits!

An offset hinge (the type where the hinge barrel is extended away from the
plates by a couple of inches) at the bottom is the solution to sloping
floors. That way the door hangs level when shut, but then rises at an
angle as it opens.


Or use rising-butt hinges.


That works if you only need a little bit of extra lift. The offset hinge
point trick can give you a significant rise at the far end of the gate /
door.
