Curing is not an exact science... So it's not a sin to bin.

Not much help I'm afraid but I'd try the yellow pages under "steel stockholders"

Hi guys, I love it

Dr. Sweet, I was wondring if you try to do tracks for sliding doors instead of the hing idea?

that would serv for:
1- easy handling open and close
2- for safty as well

what do you think

good luck with your project!
:D
cheers

Was thinking about sliders on the smaller door and still may. I'm trying to keep the fabrication to a minimum and get this build done at the lowest cost in recent history. :lol:

I actualy got very lucky. On the way home from doing repair work at the MIL I stopped in a farm/fence shop to ask if they had any so the guy walked me around the back and only had chain ling and other galv matrials then I spotted an disused metal crate that was wrapped in expando. I smiled, pointed to it and asked what he wanted for it. He told me fifteen if I could get it out of there. Well it woldn't fit in the van so I made a deal to cut off what I wanted right there and then for a tenner.
:D
