This step by step diy project is about 14×12 shed door plans. This is PART 3 of the storage shed, where I show you how to build the double front doors and how to fit the trims. Make sure you check out the first and second part of the project, so you learn how to build the frame of the shed, as well as the roof. You can easily adjust the size and the design of the doors, to suit your needs. 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 double shed doors
Door jambs
Fit 2×4 jambs around the door opening. Cut the components at the right dimensions and secure the jambs into place with 2 1/2″ screws. Align the edges flush.
Building-the-door
Continue the project by assembling the double shed doors. Cut the frame of the 2×4 lumber at the right dimensions and lock them into place with 2 1/2″ screws and construction glue. Align the edges flush and make sure the corners are square. Attach the T1-11 siding sheets with 2″ nails, every 8″ along the framing. The siding panels are the ones you cut out in the previous steps.
Fitting the double doors
Fit the double shed doors to the opening and lock them to the jambs with hinges. In addition, install a latch to keep the doors shut. Install a door stop, as well and even a shed ramp. You can find plans for a shed ramp here.
Side wall trims
Fit the 1×4 trims to the sides of the shed. Align the edges with attention and insert 2″ nails to secure the trims into place tightly. Fit the window to the opening and then attach the decorative trims.
Back wall trims
Fit the 1×4 trims to the back of the shed, as well. Align the edges with attention and then insert 8d nails to lock them into place tightly.
Front wall trims
Fit the trims to the front of the shed. Align the edges with attention and then insert 6d nails to lock them into place tightly.
