Need one of these for my garden shed. Its a proper brick shed not one of the timber jobbies.
Last time i put a new door on it, I got a DIY kit door to put together yourself, Came with all the bits you needed (T&G boards, ledges, braces, nails etc) from a local timber supplier. Just been back and they only have ready made ones in and charge 3x the price!
Anyone know anywhere online where I can get one from, or if they have seen anything like this.
Thought i'd get one of the kits as it makes it a bit easier than buying all the bits separately, Which I may end up doing.

To be fair you could custom make one, I've no idea on the cost difference between doing that and a kit though....

I'd just make one from scratch, it's only some v t&g and door bar, most timber merchants will stock it.
If they don't have door bar you could just get equivalent sized square timber, it's only beveled for water to run off when you are using it to make yard gates, if it's for a shed it won't get wet anyway.

There has been one on there for about 50 years if not longer. Only ever been broken into once when it was left unlocked by mistake. Does the job perfectly so no need for anything over the top or fancy.
