We bought these gas shocks from Amazon for 150 pound door. The issue we were having was the brackets it came with were bending under the pressure and were about to break. We made bigger brackets out of angle steel. They worked great!!!

Awesome job. I am actually doing the same thing right now for a shed bar. How did you know exactly where to place the brackets so that the door opens to a 90 and closes?
@oldelibertystructures5401
@oldelibertystructures5401 9 месяцев назад
Our shocks had instructions on finding the right placement.

I think the bracket on the window should be "off" the top hinges between 50 - 75 % of its length to the front (you have it less than 25%) in your way it is too much pressure ( upwards ) on the hinges when the weight of the window is pushing down at the very front of it and the frame is not resting on the struts, if you do the 50 - 75% the weight it would press the hinges down not as in your case up and the whole window would be more comfortably resting on the struts ( less pressure weight ) since more it would be on the hinges ..all the best to you

We just followed the directions of the manufacturer for the struts. From what you described I don't think the door would shut with the struts being compressed and moving inward to close. Thanks for your input though.

I don't know where? We made the brackets from angle metal from Lowes.

Where did you buy the flexible seal at the bottom of the hatch
@oldelibertystructures5401
@oldelibertystructures5401 2 месяца назад
It is garage door seal or sweep. You can find it at Lowes.

Great solution! Where did you buy the fitting the strut attaches to?
@oldelibertystructures5401
@oldelibertystructures5401 3 месяца назад
We used angle steel that we bought from Lowes. Cut it to the size we wanted and drilled holes for the screws.

How did you cut the metal pieces?
@oldelibertystructures5401
@oldelibertystructures5401 9 месяцев назад
Angle grind with metal cutoff wheel. Rigid cordless grinder in fact.

The manufacturer has the angles in the assembly instructions.

Where do you buy your hardy board? Its so expensive.... i can get sheeting and siding for a a ⅓ of the cost of hardy.
@oldelibertystructures5401
@oldelibertystructures5401 7 месяцев назад
Hardy board? The siding is 1x8 pine boards from a local sawmill. We didn't use any Hardy board? Do you guys call something I used on here Hardy board where you are from? I know people call things different things in other states. The Hardy board I know of is Hardie cement fiber boards. We didn't use that on this build, in fact I can't stand that stuff.

Gotcha. That is LP Smartside 4x8 sheets and also LP Trim that we use that is primed. It is an OSB product. We don't use Hardie
