Afternoon folks!
I have an idea for a small project, and thought I'd engage the wisdom of the group before digging in.
We we have a large, deep wraparound porch along our house, that is approximately 5'-6" clear below the joists along the front, and slightly tapering (shallower) as it turns the corner to the side yard. I've decided that this would be a great spot for light outdoor storage, and covered parking for the riding mower during the mowing season. The porch is covered w/ a decent overhang beyond, so outside of a hard blowing rain, it stays dry underneath.
For access, I'm planning to replace one of the existing 8'W lattice panels on the side yard w/ 2-4' gate swing doors, (simple trussed frame/ lattice infill) to match the rest of the porch trim.
Do do any of you have any recommendations on quality hinge hardware for these relatively wide doors? I was originally leaning toward standard gate hinges, but a HD piano hinge may be a good fit here as well? I also toyed w/ the idea of an "upswing door", but ruled it out as another thing to bang my head on.
thanks guys!
