Thought this may get lost in my summer house thread so started a seperate one.

Summer build moving very slowly but I am trying to clad over a flush door with Cedar as per the pic. Never done it before and cant seem to find any tips online. Need to be careful not to waste any cladding as its expensive!

Any pointers or tips gratefully received...

Winter and a new job got in the way but finally managed to get started again last weekend and completed the hidden door.

Hello Surfer - any chance you could update? Or anyone else with any knowledge on this type of thing - how does one finish with a flush door?

Thanks!

@scotia

"carefully" given the price of the Cedar! I struggled to find any help on the Internet and had cut the timber carefully and really took my time measuring and cutting, its not a great job but its passable and opens OK etc.Make sure your door is opening inwards of course.

great job! What gap do you have floor to bottom of the cedar? And what did you use round the edges of your roof?

That looks brilliant, I plan on building something similar in the next few months.

Did you follow any plans or is it just made up as you go along?

Sorry I didnt get around to answering these, probably too late now but just in case.

I left a gap of about 3 inches and I have dug a small trench all around and filled with stone to help with drainage.

No plans, just made it up as I went along. Wanted a nice sit in area and a shed, had a free set of doors so that was the brief 🙂

Hope to finish the floor, skirting and decorating this weekend. Plaster nearly dry.

The plastering is one of the 2 things I didnt do myself, the other was connecting each end of the guarded power cable through the glands into each RCD. (needed my mate who is a spark to do it)
