Build 1Shed Door or Double Shed Doors?

4' Shed Doors

4' Shed Doors

4' Shed Doors Offset between door jamb and door upright Adjust your vertical cuts according to your opeining height

I built a lean to on my home and I cant figure out how to go about putting a door or doors on it. the opening is 4 feet and framed out of 2X4. How shold I proceed? with a single door or double doors? i like the most having a single door but can I make it stroge enough at the hinges. I guess this is the question, what type of hinge? anyway you help would be great. Oh i am tring to keep this cheap because I went way over my budget with extras.

Hello Jeff,

I would definitely build double doors for this 4' opening. Please feel free to follow the instructions I have for building shed doors located at:

http://www.shedking.net/How_to_build_shed_doors.html

Its always easier if you start your siding right in the middle of the shed door opening and work your way over to each side.

Once the front of your lean to shed is sided, you can then cut out the siding away from just the door opening, being careful not to mess the siding up. Then use these two pieces to make your shed doors with.

Hope this helps you out,
John
