Evenin' chaps.
I've been asked by a friend to help out building some steel doors for a barn. There will be ten doors in total to block off each bay of the barn (5 bays) and each door would be 2m x 3m.
He's thinking of using 40 x 40 x 3mm square box, or 40 x 25 x 3mm rectangular box section. I'd go for the rectangular box personally but what would you recommend?
Each door will be clad in wiggly tin with tek screws, but do you think a simple four-sided frame will suffice or should we add some cross bracing?
Cheers.
