Build a plywood garage door.

I love to make things myself and especially saving money doing it myself. This is a relatively simple project and only requires one sheet of 1 2 inch plywood and some hand tools. A plywood garage door is the most basic and inexpensive type of wooden door. The door slides with rollers on a track attached to the sides of the door frame.

This will give you two 3 feet wide cabinets on the ends and a 2 foot wide cabinet in the middle. Cut a piece of lumber the width of the inside framing and secure it in the middle of the door separating the door into two sections. Cut plywood to make the doors to fit these openings. Build the front of the frame in the same pattern as the back 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall.

It may come with an exterior hardwood skin for a better looking outward appearance. When building an outdoor storage shed closing off an attic for storage or even building a tree house you ll need a door. It s typically made of three sections which are mounted horizontally and hinged together. We needed a replacement garage door and i perfer one that swings out so i can use.

Rather than trying to find a prefabricated door that will fit to your particular project you can build your own. To frame out the cabinets secure 8 foot 2x4s perpendicular at 36 across and 60 across. Garage doors can be expensive but with the right know how and the right tools you can build one yourself.
