hi all, can anyone point me to a site that will give me some idea of how to
build some new garage doors? i have an up and over grp type now, but since i
now have a car lift i cant open the doors...so i need two leaf timber doors
that open outwards. the measurements are 78inches by125inches. either that
or buy some ready made...they are need asap so any sugestions? i am happy
to make them but need some idea how to knock up the frame etc.

tar!

I'd wander down to the local door shop, and look at how they make
doors that are similar to what you want, I'd look at sizes of timber,
joints etc, and then run out the shop and write it all down in a
notepad.

I would them make my doors in a similar way, I'd maybe use 3 times as
many screws, and 2 times as many strengthners, and make them of
thicker wood.
