16×16 Barn Shed Doors Plans

by Ovidiu

 

This step by step diy project is about 16×16 barn shed doors plans. This is PART 3 of the barn shed project, where I show you how to build the double front doors for the storage shed. Building the double shed doors is a straight forward job, as you only need to follow my detailed instructions. 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.
