My fiber cement board is installed over 3/4 ply sheathing, which really isn't too much different than what you have. If it's t111, it may be thinner. I have house wrap installed between the sheathing and fiber cement board. We also used ring shank nails, not standard nails. I would heavily...

wfsdno, I'm struggling to understand how it would shift. There should be very little play side to side. Typically, the rollers are relatively tight to the door, which prohibits it from moving side to side. Perhaps a picture would help.

Black00 - I wasn't very clear on that part. I didn't end up using those drawings. They were just one idea I had in the beginning. I ended up building them as solid wood doors without any insulation. In fact, I'll update that image. Barks - These are NRP hinges. NRP stands for non-removable pin...

Thanks guys!

Thanks for posting! :beer: Ryan, that was largely the reason I posted the build on here; there are very few threads regarding carriage door builds on GJ. Here were the few I cited in my thread from here, from Thruxton http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92642...

Very good. Thanks for the info. I love the arched tops. We just got back from Disney and nearly every door in that place has an arched top. There is something very whimsical about that shape. I'm sure your doors are very economical as well, being there's much less lumber in them. Sent from...

Pablo - sounds great! Denwood - I like those! Any idea of the weight of a door? What's the thickness? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Janet - There are two main factors - the type of wood, which will determine how much expansion/contraction there will be, and how much you want to allow for any settling/sagging. -On the hinge sides, the hinges will determine the gap. Mine were about 1/8". -At the top, I left about 1/8"...

Thanks guys! Mac - wood is tough and frustrating. It expands, contracts, moves, twists and bows. I'm no expert, but knowing what to look for when picking out boards helps. I used mid-grade boards for a lot of this and picked through hundreds of boards to get the straightest, truest boards I...

I meant to include examples of the jambs and stops to the original post. For reference, I used 8" wide 4/4 for the jamb and 6" 4/4 ripped down to size for the stops. Before adding the stops, I took a blade width off one corner so I could slide the weatherstripping in place after paint, just like...

Keith - they were stated as "BB0199 (Non Ferrous) US32D HW NRP 5"x5"" on the invoice. I paid $120 for six plus a few bucks shipping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
