One main problem is that this house is right on the ocean front.
steel, etc. will rust, and rust quickly.
So, yes, I understand the problem.
I am a bit stumped so to speak.......
I like steel, and sheet metal, and pop rivets....
A door like this would have to be made out of stainless, and that
just blew it out of the water......
hummm?
I would love to try to come up with a wood airplane wing design, that
is, modified, for the doors.
Like these inexpensive hollow core have webs of cardboard....Now I
would not go that route.
Although structurally, and like a beehive, it is very strong, and
lightweight....

Might be worth talking to them.

BTW, stainless is exactly that, it stains LESS.

Anything other than 316L isn't going to cut it.

Bronze is a better choice for a marine application.
