Pullstart 69,841 #151 Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM 5th try, and it’s still not what I imagined, but it’s water proof and looks decent. I will try to duplicate the other end, but you can’t see them both at the same time I have foam rubber closure pieces to stuff under the roof edge before screwing if down too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 69,841 #152 Posted Tuesday at 08:14 PM Shed construction is finished, shy of door latches and door sheet metal. Yay! 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 69,841 #153 Posted Wednesday at 11:33 AM I received my latches, and got to work. The door is just a tickle over 1-1/2” thick, built using 2x4s and all. The first issue, was that the brackets were more than 2” long. That doesn’t work for me. I bought some uni-strut for this project and I have not used any yet. I have a feeling things will change soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 69,841 #154 Posted Wednesday at 11:40 AM A little cut here, drill there, and tack weld about, and I have a latch that fits inside my door. It still has no way to hold the door from swinging in the wind (yet). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 69,841 #155 Posted Wednesday at 11:45 AM The latch fits inside the door, and I believe with another roll pin through that 304 stainless steel rod, it can create a key to engage the post bracket. I’ll need to trim the length of the rod, but it’s proving to be doable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 69,841 #157 Posted Wednesday at 02:00 PM Proof of concept! I can build the remaining latches and trim the rods to length, then install them in the door frames. I’ll then install the door steel, drill through holes, and assemble. This feels good! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 69,841 #158 Posted Wednesday at 02:27 PM I trimmed the rod to length and assembled one latch. The door opens and closes with clearance, and shuts well. Now I just need to blow the rest of the latches apart and repeat the process. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
