I'm replacing our back door and want to make it from three wide planks (or what passes for three wide planks ie glue a couple of smaller widths together). Each plank will be delineated with a chamfer on the long edge (if you follow me). Door width is 760m wide so each plank will be about 250 mm wide. I wasn't proposing to put any ledge and brace on the inside but wondered if that was asking for trouble downline?
Door is North facing and will be painted on the outside and stained on the inside.
Was wondering about stability and warping...I can understand how a ledge and brace will stop a door from sagging but stopping twisting/warping? cant see how ledge and brace would help. So that kind of shows my thinking about not bothering with ledge and brace.
Thickness will be 44mm.
I was wondering about making it out of Accoya but then got a price for a 4.2m length of 50 x 200 sawn...£102 (not sure if that is plus VAT or not).
Unsorted is £20 !!
Other question that springs to mind is..would I get 44mm planed out of 50mm Accoya ?
