Garage door needed
I have a dying door to my garage and I can't seem to locate a
replacement. the sheds only have house doors, which are too big. I need a more basic but sound item. Any ideas on sources for such things? Couldn't find one on internet either. Thansk for any help you can give. |

Go to B&Q, or Jewsons, buy enough PT&G floor boards, lay them out in a door shape, cut more to brace, screw together through the braces, adding small coach bolts to re-inforce (heads out), affix with "T" hinges, fit tower bolts or padlock. "Creosote".

I certainly ain't going to find the size you want though...too much like hard work doing the conversion. http://www.dynastydoors.co.uk/main.htm -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

Mike has brought this to us :
86 cm wide, 178 cm high Get a sheet of 1/4 marine ply cut to the above size, then add a timber frame screwed to the rear of it to give it the appropriate thickness you need. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
