How To Build An Inexpensive Shed Door

👍👍👍

Very nice, fairly simple.
You used is LP siding in the lower 48 where I reside we have T-111 siding very similar in look. Does the LP brand required staining or painting like T-111 ? And thanks for sharing Mr. Shannon

So clever to attach front-facing things (trim) from the backside with screws. I probably would have done it the much less elegant way: countersinking a screw in the front and then filling it in with wood putty. And that would have been after making the mistake of shooting the brads through the trim and plywood. lol

Nice shed,

Love it! thanks Dudeman!

Nice job. But nowadays the door has to be heavy duty steel and the frame heavy duty steel.

I might have done a 6 inch skirt for the molding on the bottom of the door. And I would have deck screwed it all on and countersunk/patched the screw tops as well because I love to over build!

Nice, thank you! Do you think some flashing or drip edge over the top would help, or does it just collect ice up there?

nigga are you using a fisheye camera

Looks good.

I laminated two layers of 4x1 to make a door. The joints overlap so it was very strong and light but it was for a chicken coup door with mesh instead of siding.
Nice work as usual.

Thanks Shannon, this really helps when your door gets blown off and splinters into pieces.

Wish I could find 2x4s that are straight like those. My door would look like a taco with the garbage lumber we have around here.

That turned out well. Good method and nice job.

Another awesome video. Great work

Nice and affordable I like it 👍

What adhesive do you recommend?I use PL for interior work,can I use that for exterior as well?

Where do you get that LP siding? ...and did you put it over OSB or plywood?

Did you paint the door before applying trim? I've gotten lazy and just painted the damn thing completely. Not sure how well the pl premium is gonna stick now.

I did a similar door but brought the 2 side trims all the way down and used a 1x6 for the bottom piece. kind of like a kick plate look. Also put a bevel on that piece so water doesn't sit. I didn't set the latch side back any But I should have !

How about for the amateur, I would have liked to see the install on the shed. But the title was for the build. I still learned something.

I love all your videos. You have saved me multiple times on my DIY projects. Keep em coming.

Thank you for this Shannon . I am wondering if it would be possible to make this 48” wide which is the size of my door frame . I thought it may be too heavy and would have to do two doors ? What would be your advice please ? I have only used exterior plywood on my shed which unfortunately is letting in water at base , will have to seal with something .

Can you not use wood joiners on the trim?

Amazing nice one thanks 🇮🇪😎👏

I'm currently trying to do this. My 2 LP panels almost fit perfectly in the middle; so they'll overlap like they are designed to do. The trouble I'm having is, bc I couldn't get a perfectly straight cut, and the doors are different sizes, I can't figure out the length of my structural 2x4s. I'm probably over-thinking it, bc I can tighten up the seams with trim.

Is that lp smart side? Why not do a vid on that? Genius idea tho what do you frame your opening to? Then what do you frame the door to? Why not show us putting hinges on and and hanging it?

Did you use treated lumber for the 2x4 braces and trim pieces?

my shed door acts like it is warped out at top toward the opening. any ideas?

Major help Shanon!
I’m going with your method after spending $250 on 2 slabs made of particle that only lasted one year. So sad. Thank you

good idea that will save me a few pennies! the cheapest ext door is over 275. with out the trim. Thanks!

you need a diagonal board from the hinge side or the door will sag

How long did that take to build? I’ve got to build one next week.

Dude is an amazing carpenter and Canadian.

Very helpful, thank you

I have a shed with a 5x7 door and i want to insulate it. Thi k i could do this with the lp siding and maybe butt two pieces together ?

Edit or maybe I could have it split in the middle

Thanks for the video. I feel confident I can do this on my own now. Do you have a companion video that shows adding the hinges and finishing to include hanging?

Doors look great!

Beautiful

Could I use this same design for two 5ft wide doors to close in a carport? Maybe just a diagonal piece to brace it?

Thanks for sharing. I'm getting ready to build a door for my coop.

Like ChuckNorrisUltra below, I too am planning a chicken coop/smoking shed for my wife and need a door for her 10x10 shed area. The chicken coop with be attached, but separated by a wall. Now I know how to build a simple shed door. Thx for sharing. Also included in the build will be a storage closet area for feed and supplies. That's going to need doors also and this is perfect. So, thanks again!

Great video. Do you have a video on how to hang the doors? I am confident that I can build two doors for my shed, but my old brain is struggling with understanding how to install.

Very good. I am just finishing a storage building using this same material. Great idea to save money on my door. Thanks...

Perfect video for my shed door , thanks ❤❤

Nice job. Now, I need to roll my sleeves up and make one myself (working on a box blind). Thanks!

Great job 👍

Bit to heavy in weight for the average garden shed, looks good though.
