Posted this in another folder and didn't get any replies. Thought I would try here
Making garage doors (sliding barn type) from 2x8 pressure treated boards. A 1/2" thick PT plywood panel approx 48x71 inside the 2x8's that have a lap joint glued and screwed. Going to use 1/2" quarter rounds to hold the panel in place and allow for relative movement. The garage in in New England so quite a wide range of temps and humidity.
How much gap should allow for panel expansion? Currently it's dry and mild temps. The PT boards have been drying for several months clamped flat with spacers for air circulation.
Making four doors about 63" x 86" hanging from sliding barn door hardware rolling in a track.
