Repurposing an old up and over garage door

[daiking]

As it says on the tin. Old galvanised garage door.

 

what could I do with it to make it useful? Don't forget this is me so keep it simple.

Roof for a pallet shed

 

I re-purposed one recently. I took a 9" grinder to it and cut it on into 4 so it would fit in the back of the van to go down to scrap merchants!

I think that would be the final straw if my shed built of pallets suddenly got topped out with an old up and over garage door.

 

[joke]

 

"I am going to build a shed out of pallets"

 

"Over my dead body"

 

"Is that where you would like me to put it?"

[/joke]
 

[daiking]

I don't have enough pallets

Still got this as no grinder to put it in a skip. Still looking for uses.

Bend up the corners and turn it into a skip?

Light a fire = griddle pan for a bison!

So far, shed wall wins.

 

although, I have just thought of using it as the base of a large solar heat collector

If you have a neighbour that you dislike, put it on the side facing their garden.

Bend up the edges and make a 4 person sledge.

 

Did that once with a van roof. Superb.

 

Or repurpose it as a workshop door.

 

Or retractable lid for something.

 

Or the base for eg a mint bed or bamboo enclosure. If you like mint of bamboo.

 

Or root barrier cut into strips.

 

If you have a neighbour you dislike, paint a mural of Homer Simpson mooning, *then* put it their side with a note that painting it will be criminal damage.

I'm thinking OPENING roof for a garden observatory! 

 

.....haven't figured out quite how and still think a sliding one would be better but.....maybe a couple of tailgate struts off a van.....just imagine the noise in the rain!

 

Actually I have a similar door and am going to build a GARAGE / garden machinery store around it!

Some people open their gardens to the public once a year.....

If they detect it then obviously the camouflage and defences are inadequate!!

Pity you haven't got a second, matching door then you could make one of those drive through garages.....

[Onoff]

If you were to cut a couple of window / door shaped holes in it it could be repurposed to cover a wall with unsightly, cracked brickwork.....

 

INCOMING!
