Hello guys,
First of all, I tried the search tool before posting to try and find any pictures or ideas on making shop doors. I found nothing or I am not doing it right.
What I have is a wall I am extending into the original garage to gain more space from my shop that is behind it. The wall is going to come about 4 feet short of my insulated garage door. The half of the garage that I am now building will be insulated and heated (I live in Michigan). The doors that I want to make will open up into a unheated section of the garage that can't be used for my shop. I want to make 2 doors, each to be 3.5 feet that will open up and give me a 7 foot total opening to get things in and out. I hope it makes sense. I would love to post a picture, but our Kodak EasyShare LS443 went bonkers on us on September 15th. We are getting a new one soon, I hope. Anyways, the doors don't open up to the outside atmosphere, just the inside of the garage that is unheated.
I have heard of sandwiching a ridgid insulated sheet around 2 sheets of OSB. Is this the way that most of you guys do it??? I want to do it once and be done. Any ideas or photos would be of great help. Thanks, and when I am finally done I will post some pictures. Thanks!!!:) :)
Gratefully, David:) :)
