Do I diy it or buy one pre-made?Either way I'll do the hole and weld it in the box meselfCan get a door with frame for like £800
>>2849895i had to /diy/ one because i couldn't get what i needed during the kungflu summer of love. bought a door and frame for a metal building of cl for $200 and cut the frame sheet metal to width with the plasma. framed the hole with 1x3x.120 tubeand welded everything in. it came out alright but was a bit of an assache. id buy a door with a heavy steel frame if i had to do it again
>>2849895you can see the frame flange welded to the tube in this pic
>>2849907>>2849905Yeah I've seen a lot of those and I'm not very interested in going that route, if I had to diy it all I'd do the 1x3 tube yeah and then some 1/2x3/4 box around it to make it a door frame and just hang a door in that, but it appeals to me just driving up to the port and buying a whole door from an outfitter and putting it in
>>2849895>>2849921>how do i /diy/>i dont want to /diy/well then why did you bother asking?
>>2849969It's still diy if I buy an assembled frame and weld it into a container vs buying one with a door already
>>2849895Not all frames suit container corrugations (for side doors) or blank ends or end doors but an angle frame is a breeze to weld. I support the door horizontally and level, then use welding stands to support the frame. I shim the door clearance between the door and frame so zero risk of fucking that up.Use quality sealant. The HV version doesn't sag and of course it's UV resistant. I just sealed some door trim and end vertical gaps between my side-by-side welded container shop with it.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWMV8XJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWMV8XJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
