In this story i ll walk you through the whole process.
Making a pocket door out of a french door.
By centering the doors are you making a tripping hazard.
Mullions frame and hold the glass in the door.
Cut the portion of the plate out that will form the opening for the french doors.
Buy mullions from the store to fit the door.
How would pocket doors ever seal since you need that space to make them slide in and out.
By moving them to the far end it might provide a smooth in and out.
Building a set of french doors involves milling many parts and some careful upfront planning.
A door will need two mullions to make four light windows.
You can choose to buy mullions in the same wood as the door or different wood for contrast.
I like the suggestion someone made about sliding glass doors.
Use a circular saw combined with a carpenter s square or a reciprocating saw if space is tight.
First of all since these doors will be exposed to the elements it s a good idea to make them out of rot resistant hardwood such as white oak or mahogany.
The length of this opening has to be 54 1 4 inches the distance that you calculated in step 1.
And a good thought above too.
