daiking Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney12 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiking Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Still got this as no grinder to put it in a skip. Still looking for uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiking Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) So far, shed wall wins. although, I have just thought of using it as the base of a large solar heat collector cue, Rolling Stones Edited October 18, 2016 by daiking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) 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.

Onoff Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
