hi all

We have an old wooden shed in the garden. The body of the shed is still solid, but the door also made of some wood has been rotten especially the bottom part where it contacts with the soiland rain water.

So the bottom part has a few holes from the rot, but from the middle to the top of the door seem solid.

What would be best way to do it up? I was thinking of cutting the rotten bits off and screwing new hard wood stakes on the existing top part lining them up.

Other way I was thinking was to apply some wood preservatives on the whole door leaving the rotten part as well, and when it dries, screw new wood stakes on top of the existing door, covering the whole door with new solid wood and paint over.

Last option was just rip it apart, and get fresh new door and hinges, and replace the whole lot. What would be the best option? Thanks

Replace, you could do cheaply with pallet timber.
Here is one I made earlier. IMG_3501.jpg
 
Wow That looks great. Superb work fh.

Yeah I will need to go to b&q and get some osb or plywood. I do have some scrap of old wood stakes in the corner of the garden, but they wouldn't be enough quantity to make the whole door.
