Large Shed Doors Plans

This step by step diy project is about shed double doors plans. This article is PART 3 of the 8×16 gable shed project, where I show you how to make the double doors for the shed. In PART 3 I also show you how to attach the trims to the shed, so you get the job done in a super nice manner. 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, as it will pay off on the long run. 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 about a day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

Building large shed doors

Door-panels

Use the pieces of siding that you have cut in the previous steps as door panels. Smooth the edges with sandpaper for a neat result.

Fitting-the-trims-to-the-shed-door

Attach 2×4 trims around the doors panels, as shown in the diagram. Align the edges with attention and insert 2″ screws to lock everything together tightly.

Fitting-the-diagonal-braces

Cut and install the diagonal braces to the doors. Align the components with attention and lock them into place with 2″ screws.

Fitting-the-door-jambs

Attach 2×4 slats around the door opening and lock them into place with 2 1/2″ screws.

Fitting-the-doors-into-place

Fit the doors into place and then secure them to the jambs with hinges. In addition, fit a latch to the doors, so you can lock together.

Fitting-the-front-trims

Fit 1×4 trims to the front, back and sides of the shed. Use 1 1/2″ brad nails to lock the trims into place tightly.
