4×6 Double Shed Door Plans

This step by step diy project is about 4×6 shed doors and trims plans. This is PART 3 of the 4×6 lean to storage shed project, where I show you how to build the double doors for the storage shed and how to fit the decorative trims. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration.

When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in a few day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

Fitting the double doors

Fit the doors to the opening and align the edges flush. Attach hinges to lock the door to the jambs. Install a latch to lock the door tightly.

Front wall trims

Fit the 1×4 trims to the front of the shed. Align the edges with attention and insert 8d nails, to lock them into place tightly.

4×6 Lean to Shed

Last but not least, you need take care of the finishing touches. Fill the holes with wood putty and then smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint or stain to the components, so you can protect them from decay and so you can enhance the look of the shelter. Check out PART 1 and PART 2 of the shed, so you can learn everything you need to know about building the floor, walls and roof for the shed.
