Cutting out vertical wood

[Keitai]

I used a circular saw to cut this upright wood in situ horizontally (18v dewalt saw) and jigsaw to cut down on ends. This allowed shed door to open.

Is this the best way and is it safe cutting like this (saw on its side)? The saw struggled. Should I have worn a mask when cutting treated wood?

Don't let common sense ruin potential multi-page thread opportunity.

Obviously the OP was a bit tired when measuring up

I would've used a blunt axe for a more accurate cut...

I think the OP did, but used the back edge of the axe

Get yourself some slabs to hide that mess. Project them over the timber by 50mm or so.

That would be back to square one, the door would not be able to open for the slabs

Up and over door?

Up and over door?

Drawbridge?

I'm not sure on the OP's moating abilities

More gravel so it's level with top of boards?

Think they ran out of gravel so I made do
