This step by step diy project is about 16×16 shed doors and trims plans. This is PART 3 of the large storage shed project, where I show you how to build the double doors for the storage shed, the side door 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
Double-door-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.
4-ft-shed-door-frame
Build the door frame from 2×4 lumber. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the vertical and middle components. Lay the boards on a level surface and align the edges flush. Insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock the door frame together.
Assembling-the-double-shed-doors
Build the door panels from T1-11 siding. Use 1 5/8 screws to lock the panels to the frame. Add glue to the joints and align the edges flush.
Fitting-the-double-shed-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.
Side-door-jambs
Fit the 2×4 jambs around the side door. Align the edges with attention, drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock them into place tightly. Leave no gaps between the components for a professional result.
Small-shed-door-frame
Build the side door frame in the same manner described above.
Assembling-the-small-shed-door
Attach the siding panel to the frame, using 1 5/8″ screws.
Fitting-the-side-door
Fit the door into place and then secure it to the jambs with hinges. Install a door latch to lock the door into place tightly.
Door-trims
Fit the PVC window to the side wall and secure it into place. Attach the 1×4 trims around the window. Secure the trims into place using 2″ nails.

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.
