Greenhouse door diy

-
 Old doors like these are way easier to just throw out. But I needed a door for my greenhouse, so why throw out a perfectly good material? And it's greener to recycle anyway.


The fact was that these doors were not in the best condition. On the one side the weathering was severe and on the other the paint was in a terrible shape and bottom part also had partially rotted away.







    This project was not one of the most complicated ones. The door was already a door, all I had to do was fix it up to look a bit more decent. As you can see in the pictures above I only removed the old paint and sanded the weathered side. 

    O, and sawed a bit off of the bottom that was damaged. 

    In the end to give a nice touch I just grinded some symbols in the door. But unfortunately I was unable to install them in my greenhouse, because a storm managed to level it completely.

Because of its relative softness in comparison to paper, when gluing to a cover, it wrinkles much less. This way you can use the various designs found at the shops or create a new design by turning it over and using the blank side. The end result gives you a soft textured feel and look.
