10x18 Raised Center Aisle Barn Shed Door Plans

This step by step diy project is about 10×18 raised center aisle barn shed doors and trims plans. This is PART 3 of the large raised center aisle, 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.

Building shed doors

Fitting the jambs

First of all, you need to attach the 2×4 jambs around the opening. Align the edges flush, drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock them into place tightly, every 8″ along the framing.

Building-the-doors

Build the door panels from T1-11 siding and the frame from 2×4 lumber. Start by assembling the door frame using 2×4 lumber and pocket holes. Use 1 5/8 screws to lock the panels to the frame. Add glue to the joints and align the edges flush.

Fitting the front doors

Fit the double doors to the front opening. Align the edges with attention and use hinges to lock the doors to the jambs. Install a latch to lock the doors into place tightly.

12×20 Raised Center Aisle Shed Plans

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. Check out PART 3 of the project so you learn how to build the side storage sheds.
