Shed Sliding Door - How To Build
2008.09.28
I cut two pieces of luan plywood, tha will go side-by-side for the door
|
I used 1x4's for the door structure
|
Atached the left side flush and the right side up the middle of the vertical for attaching the other piece of plywood.
|
Both pieces of plywood attached to the verticals
|
Added in the horizontals along the bottom.
|
I did all the attachment so far with 3/4" long 1/4" crown staples. Each piece is heavily glued with Titebond II wood glue.
|
I attached the main horizontal support accross the bottom. Basically the door is lap construction with a 1/4" piece of plywood in the middle. I tacked this in place with brad, then attached it with 1 5/8' screws.
|
I flipped the door around and started to work on the top transom windows.
|
Here is a detailed picture of the attchement method.
|
So far, the front side of hte door has been face-down during contstruction.
|
I added in the dividing pieces for the windows and the supports
|
These openings are built to allow a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of glass - from a standard award picture frame.
|
Here is how the transom frame looks from the front.
|
I added in the final support pieces on the back.
|
Finally, I put the diagonals on the front. I needed to scribe and cut these individually.
