The doorway opening is much wider than a standard hardwood door, so there’s room for some windows on the side. The original barn doorway opening did not seem to have any right angles in it!

I’ve only concreted in each post of the door frame leaving a gap in the middle to route the soil pipe through. Wickes sell a Premium Hardwood Door Frame for £50, but I had to chop about 4 inches off the bottom of the door so that it would fit, so I would have had to modify the door frame anyway.

The door is made by Magnate Alicante Hardwood Door, Magnate Price £182.03. Ebay price £10
The exterior Alicante mortice and tenon door is manufactured from premium quality hardwood and over veneered facings.
The hardwood Alicante door features a nine light design above six solid panels giving an appearance more suitable for rural settings!
