red dwalf Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Todays update :- yesterday managed to finished all the cladding except for one small piece top right of the door which will cover the rollers, typical one piece short. and today after much head scratching and putting off, i`ve managed to build a front door ! which i`m very pleased with as i`ve never done anything like it before and took alot of thinking about, but finally it`s all but water tight. final stage is the side runners for the roof to roll onto which again is proving a little taxing on the gray matter, i want it to roll of no more than 8` and they of course need to be level, so i`m thinking of some wooden pillers with a brace which goes across that the runners can be supported by. anyway here are some pictures of the progress and my door which i`m most proud of, all glued and screwed together. will post some images later as i seem to be having trouble posting them at the moment, site just freezes up when i click on image. http://imageshack.us/a/img441/9363/cladding2.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img546/9771/cladding1.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img600/2571/door2b.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img853/8097/door1we.jpg Edited December 18, 2012 by red dwalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It is looking really impressive. You must be getting excited about the prospect of using it instead of building it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) That is looking cracking Rob. Really nice. Do I remember you saying it would have a warm room? Edited January 8, 2013 by catman161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 toilets outside, although i do have a caravan portapotty so now you`ve got me thinking, there will be a warm room although i will give it some use first before putting up the dividing wall just to make sure that everything is in the right place and is functional. when it`s up and running your more than welcome to come and have a go. need some advice on electrics also so if theres anyone who knows what they are doing please give me a shout, i know alittle but what i have in mind might not be the correct way of doing things, infact i`m fairly certain it isn`t but on paper it should work but not certain if it would be 100% safe.

PaulG Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) This is excellent Rob, wish I had a garden big enough to do the same. Just make sure you deface or fit blind head bolts to the door hinges. My next door neighbour lost three mountain bikes once because someone removed the screws to the three hinges. Nobody heard anything as its a really quite and quick way to break in. Paul Edited January 10, 2013 by PaulG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I agree, go down Wilko's and get some mushroom head coach bolts. Drill through the hinge and frame and bolt at the back. You want M8 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I had to put external hinges on my door due to the reclaimed timber I had used, I was hoping for internal but that was out. So I coach bolted the hinges to the door and frame. Then I drilled through the door frame on the hinge side and put bolts through that side and drilled recesses into the door itself so when the door closes these bolts actually go into the door. This is so that if anyone drives the pins out of the hinges to try to lift the door out, the door is still held in place and can only be got out with a very long crow bar and alot of noise.

red dwalf Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) to tell you the truth i wish i had put on some proper door hinges now, i`ve got some nice chunky ones in the garage and having just screwed the t hinges on to the door and frame, the security aspect has been bothering me, the trouble was that the timber door frames are 4 inches think and another half inch of cladding and not having done anything like this before i wasn`t sure of what kind of security bolts or screws are available, i did look on the toolstaion website but it`s hard to see exactly what they are like from a brochure photo. i was thinking of having a basic garage/shed alarm put in. also thought about fitting a couple of these into the door frame. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Safety+Security/Locks/Rack+Bolt+60mm+Kit/d200/sd2611/p93001 Edited January 10, 2013 by red dwalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You need something on the hinge side Rob tobstop anyone lifting the door out if they cut or knock out the hinge pins. 3 or 4 coach bolts like I described workba treat and are cheaper and easier to fit. As for alarms make sure whatever you get has a pir detector. I know of 2 people who have just fitted door contactsbut the theifs cut through the wall with a battery saw and no one was the wiser. Take a look at the friedland sa1 kits, solar powered main unit which you can add all sorts to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
