    want to make two doors like the one in the attachment, without the ply corners and will be well fitted..

    Will be 2m high and 1 m wide.

    My plan is to use 4 by 2 treated for the hinge and lock styles.
    Is 4 by 2 enough for the 3 rails, am using 14 by 140 domino dowels so just wonder should I use 6" by 2 " for top and bottom rails with two dowels in each as door will have no sheeting to help with sagging
    middle rail will be 1/3 up from the bottom, with plastic and green mesh bottom and top.
    Hinges will be 12 " Tee
    Thanks as always

    I like the 6 x 2 top and bottom rails and stacked dominos option myself. Might be overkill but for the sake of it, why not? It’ll look ‘right’ too.
