9 years later and this is still great info. Used this today to make an external door. Great info, simple and easy. Not a difficult job but a few really helpful pointers before I started!

Actually used this to make my cellardoor under the stairs. Looks awesome. I also ordered some classic style handle and hangers, really happy with this 👍

Great workmanship this is truly not only a dying art but a under appreciated one.

That’s a great looking door, simple yet elegant (for a shed/garage or outbuilding) and its very well made.

I know this is an older video - but thanks for taking the time to share this. Very cool and very helpful.

We love the board and batten look. We use it in a lot of our outdoor projects.

Great explanation ! I am planning to build a door similar to this for a cold storage room I am putting in my basement . As the dead space below the stairs is being used the door is not a standard size so building my own was the best option !

Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?

Excellent video. I was too lazy to do it your way so I just used a piece of T111 siding under the battens. It doesn't look quite as good as yours but it was easier and saved a lot of time. One downside though - T111 soaks up a lot of paint.

A joy to watch your videos. Your workshop makes a great backdrop in the videos as well. Always inspiring and I admire your imagination to keep coming up with great designs. Well done. One Handed Maker - Australia

Thanks for sharing Rob! Great video.

Thanks for the instructional clip, we are building the barn doors to suit the new door frames, internal and external. Next up will be to replace the window frames using your old school builds.

Quick tip for anyone building this, make sure BOTH diagonal braces have the low end on the hinge side other wise it will twist through wet and dry weather.

Thank u so much for this video :) were making our outdoor potty and needed a simple beautiful door.... this is great. thinking of other places on the homestead we can use these :)

Great video. This is exactly what I want for my garage. The house is old and the 70s style garage door just never looked right but now it's toast so we have a good excuse to make something that looks better. We only keep our canoe and lawnmower in there so these doors are perfect. 👍

No worries at all! My Shed Plans brings me up to speed with professional tips and tricks used by the pros [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It really let me learn how to handle carpenter equipment, follow the right safety rules, and how to do your projects professionally so that they will look good and last!

I needed a door for my mini horse shelter. I used 2x3s and 6' pickets. Using my router, I set groves into the 2x3 frame, holding the pickets. Came out nice and is fairly light. Not as solid as yours, but for what it is being used for, it's good. I'm not really a wood worker but it's super easy. If anyone wants a nice door but you are scared to try it, the design in this video is definitely something that you can do with simple tools.

Going to make these for my shed!

looks great thanks. I'm looking to build my own but need some inspiration and nice ideas. .

This is excellent. I was looking for a rustic type door for my daughters apartment, inexpensive and very straight forward to put together. I really like this, it gave me some great ideas. Nicely done.

awesome dude - We have a quasi- A-frame cabin type home with cedar trim and ceiling. The builders have all rough side out and I've laced my arms and shoulders a few times with about 30 micro sized splinters, lol. It also is a little "cheesey' looking to me so I started pulling the trim off and flipping (where I can) around to the smooth side BUT oiling down and then hitting a light coat of Provincial stain which looks amazing. My hangup was what to do with the interior doors. They are incredibly cheap fiber board of some sort so was looking for how to actually build a cabin-type door with cedar where I could also apply the oil and provincial stain. You just solved this for me. THANKS FOR YOUR PAGE!!

That has been addressed above - glue will interfere with wood movement.... as in panel doors, and why panels are not glued in. Doesn't anyone read comments before making needless, repetitive comments?

Thanks for your video! Looks really nice and simple. I notice you lay the planks against each other. Will this not cause problems when the wood is expanding during summertime?

That's great info, even if it is not actually board and batten. You need to have actual battens to be board and batten.

Fun fact: the term "dead as a door nail" comes from what he is referencing with the rod iron nails. It was more common to reuse nails back in the day, but due to the bending of the nail once it went through, that nail was now "dead" in the sense that you can't reuse the nail anymore

Jay Stachowiak 🙄.... well that may be the case ( it’s not) but it’s actually being used in that instance more as a descriptive noun. Surely you know, that blacksmiths would take a square rod of iron and fashion the nails out of the square iron rod. So I suppose that “iron rod nails” would be a more appropriate term for what I was saying. Now with that being said, “wrought iron” is most definitely a thing. “Wrought” is past and past participle tense word for “work”. So if we’re talking about wrought iron, then we would be talking about a metal that was beaten into shape with a hammer, or metal that was worked into shape. Checkout Merriam-Webster’s definition entry of “wrought”. Took me like 2 seconds to find that “wrought Iron” is for sure a thing, granted it is not any particular “kind” of iron, but a term for any kind of iron that was worked into its shape by hand hammering the metal.

Any issue with bowing or cupping due to wood movement?

Well made video. My problem with the gate is that the braces should be the same way, starting at the lower corners at the hinged side and rising from that point. The way you have the braces is the way mass produced gates are made so that less stock is required in store, they can be hung either side but not the professional way.

I need a couple of doors like this. Weighing it up on cost, it might be cheaper to buy the doors rather than loose timber. I've made doors in the past though out of 4 by 1 sawn treated. They can slightly bow, may have been better a little bit wider though about 150/200mm. Thanks for the video

True - he never showed how he ended up with ship lap wood. Buying that is expensive. Buy regular rough sawn and cut your own ship lap. He should have shown how to do that and how he screwed it in. I built mine and its a bit tricky getting the thickness correct as not all barn door slide hardware will accommodate doors thicker than 1.25 inches. Plus buying the correct door hardware length should be shown. A 6 foot slide will not accommodate a 36 inch door opening as the door needs to be made wider to properly cover the gap caused by the door extending out from the wall. Then because the door is wider you can't put the hangers on the door per instructions. Finding a 6.5 ft slide solves this problem.
