I know this is a bit off topic as I am not going to build the door (I am going to build the shed it will be attached to thought!) but here it goes. I am planning on building a shed and am looking at using a standard slab door (I will need to chop 12-14" off so that is why I am going with a slab vs. pre hung). The question I have is I saw 6 panel solid core pine slab door at home depot but it is only 1 3/8" (I assume this is an interior door). There is also a solid core flat door that is birch and is 1 3/4". I know a standard exterior door is 1 3/4". Is the 1 3/8" pine door ok for a exterior shed door? It seems to me it would be plenty stable and I like the panel look much better. Any thoughts on this would be appreicated. Thanks!

The exposed panels, grooves in the door would be subject to water going in, eventually with the door failing.
