New door and frame for outhouse - anybody know where I could get a similar sized door?

[ThomasAnderson]

Hello lovely people,

I've had somebody ask me to fit "just a shed door" and when I came to the job it was a door to a brick outhouse, with a frame. Both door and frame are rotting so both need replacing. The only issue is that the door frame is 197cm x 76cm and the door is 182cm x 68cm.

Now, I can buy a bigger door frame and cut that down to size, that's no problem... but does anybody know where I could obtain a suitable sized door that's similar to the existing one?

Cheers everyone

Buy the boards cut them to size then Ledged and braced.

Same with the frame buy from timber yard or a DIY store

Yes, making my own is probably the way. I've done it before. Nice one

For exterior use you really need to consider using treated timber, or at the very least treating everything with Cuprinol before installation. In either case cut surfaces and ends need to be treated, especially door and door frame bottoms.

Or you could just take the blue pill...

Or use a blank and cut it down to suit eg https://www.doordeals.co.uk/product/external-door-blank-solid-core

Cheers guys, I'll be doing it on the cheap with treated timber I think.
