For the doors, use ship lapped rough pine.
Cut boards the height needed, enough for the width of both doors.
Lay out enough boards for each door, clamp tight, one door at a time.
Cut boards to go across the top and bottom of the doors, both sides of each door.
Cut boards to go between the top and bottom boards.
Cut some boards for a center cross, an X or just one board, to keep the door square.

I would use a good waterproof adhesive and screw the boards together but nails will work too.


The door is made of just some ship lapped rough cut pine boards, you can use 3/4" or 1".

thanks for the ideas. I was thinking two five footers so doors will be easier for the smaller ones of the household to operate... so i dont have to feed horses everyday!

May be hard to tell in last picture but it is framed just like a house

Kind of, but not really. It looks like you used plenty of wood on it and you where not shy about blocking. I'm thinking that with the trusses holding up the rood, the end walls wont be that big of a deal not putting a header over the open span. I'm at a loss why you didn't?

You can made the door any width you want.
As the doors get wider the support cross bracing needs to get larger but five feet should be no problems.
Build them yourself, order up some sliding door hardware and go for it.
I am buying a steel,building, 10' x 10' main door, I am building two doors, 5'6" each, out of 3/4 rough cut pine with either 3/4" or 1" bracing around the outer edges on both sides of the doors and cross bracing. If necessary I can use a threaded rod with turn buckles to keep the door from sagging.

Wooden doors like the attached in my last post are easy to make, just make sure things are squared up make them a little wider to cover sealing.

Good Luck

The door pictured are the ones I am building not the actual doors.
The picture is from the web, just showing the OP what I was thinking.

Still an easy build, just takes time and patience, make sure things are square.

The new shop is not in but will be shortly, just waiting for the house in MA to sell to get started.

Looks good! A little bit of trim and the outside looks like it will be wrapped up. Are you doing a dirt/ gravel floor or concrete?
