New door for brick shed - hardwood ££££!!!

theartfullodger

Dear all, and thanks in advance for your kind advice...

We've a brick-built shed-like small building which is a dump-stuff-here, a few cupboards, the tumble-dryer lives here place....and the door is slowly rotting.

Turns out whoever put the door on put a simple, very-cheap, hardboard-panel door in & painted it - no surprise that didn't cope very well...

So, gotta get a new door, but as long as I can paint(gloss-white) it don't want to spend much.

However hardwood/UPVC doors seem to be in the £200+ range and I wondered what your advice would be.. I don't really need the security features a "front-door" has... any suggestions guys???


Cheers!

A framed, ledged and braced door would be very suitable for what you need. Look here

Could you ask on freecycle for a old door perhaps they must be loads getting removed every day by DG firms

I used old floorboards to knock together a double door for my workshop and then drenched it every 2 years or so with creosote, 8 years on and its still doing fine.

have a look in B&Q in their clearance
section,they have lots of odd doors
mostly hardwood ones I have seen
them as cheap as £10/£20.there
always scratched,end of lines,returns etc
but still very useable ask in your local
branch,its not just ours that has
them they all do.
