Permanent Door Fix for our Shelter Logic Garage in a Box 

Once the cats are done playing with the zippered door that was removed, staple it on the inside of the door to seal cracks and allowing air to infiltrate while water seeps down. If you are going to add corrugated roofing to the sides, consider adding a translucent UV stabilized panel on the roof crest allowing light to infiltrate into the storage shed. The cat door is genius. You’d better watch the child that suggested it; she is going to go far if allowed. Have you considered adding a couple shipping containers for a build similar to April & Red have on their homestead. (Red and April, Off-Grid Home Build.) Wishing you and your family a blessed new year. Greetings from NE Ohio. Peace

When the canvas goes, bend steel sheeting over the top and opaque poly carbonate along the bottom for light, just a thought.🤗

I love how you made this. Truly a great solution for your problems. Not that its remotely the same, but we put a kitty door on my son's garage inside door entrance to the main house. We put our kitty litter boxes out there to save space and keep any smell and any litter mess out of the house. We tried several indoor spots before this and the garage was the best solution. Ours has a lockable flap so we can keep them inside the house if we need the garage opened for extensive time. They now use the garage as their 'kitty apartment' and safe place to be alone if my granddaughter bugs them too much. They are not fans of being stuffed in her doll house.

I'm impressed. We have a metal and canvas pergola that is giving us trouble with the zippers. This is giving me ideas on how we might retrofit it.

i will be doing this on my 4 portable garages from HF where i built art projects & sculptures ... one is already covered on the *sunlit side* in the sheet metal from a defunct 8x8 shed, one with heavy vinyl donated from awning company when replacing old ... the ends are gonna require solid work, ive replaced numerous times since 2009. Yours is pretty, mine will not be, but doors will open OUT cause i need the interior space when doors are open. Your frameup has saved me time and headscratching ... woopee!

You could cut down the old front and tack it to the inside doors to keep rain out.

Amazing work you gave this ole lady some ideas!

It looks cold you guys. The kittens want to help, NOT. I like this idea of beefing up the bones of the garage shelter logic kit. Nice job! That door frame looks really nice. Wow, I've never seen a door built standing up. It looks fantastic. I love the cat door! I like the rocks at the bottom too. It really does look wonderful. Take a bow guys! It is important to have a dry area to store stuff.

Love it! I live a few miles south of you and deal with the same winds. My shelter is new but I dislike the zipper door and now have an idea of what to do ....Thank you!

Nice! Yes, when life happens, our minds can be very inventive. It is exciting to come up with new solutions. Great job!!! I like the kitty door too!

We have one of these and you are giving me ideas for making a more permanent shop for us. Thanks guys. Looks great!😊

Thank you for the confidence you just gave me to do my repair

OH My!! Hyper Adobe Solar and Chicken Garden and now... and Now... a Barn Door... is there nothing that you cannot do??? Y'all ROCKING the Homestead!!

Love the barn doors!!!! So rustic!!! Awesome!!!

Those frame tents are nice in that you can live with the canvas and upgrade as it fails as you go along.

That door looks fantastic.

Good Morning Tiny Shiny Crew! I look forward to your videos every morning. You Guys Rock!

Wow, that’s really good - really like that door. Good job everyone !!! Even the kittens 🐈‍⬛ approve 👍

I really like your approach to this project and the finished door was great. But truly, I could not keep my eyes off that beautiful sky in your final minutes of the video. Awesome gift from the Creator!!!

Great idea. I’ve learned something new too. Have a good day.

Flipping brilliant. Love it! Yes!

that came out very good

Love the look of the door.❤️👍👍👍

Love the view of the mountains

For the inside areas, might I suggest a light frame of left over wood strips, staple the ends together and then put 2 ply of vapor barrier plastic panels. These can be as solid as you want them to be. Affix the top of the panel on the bottom of each door. Being your doors open to the outside, use a piece of OSB board (they're pretty much waterproof - at least for a couple of years), do the burn thing (will add some amazing detail) and place it over the front panel of one of the doors. When you open them, the protector panel goes with the door. When closed, it "seals" the center gap. Or, you can go with the rubber stuff you use to line a bottom drawer shelf - they sell it at the dollar stores, thick-"ish"rubbery liner. Glue it to a piece of stiff cardboard and voilà, easy, cheap baffle. Of course, you'd put that on one of the insides of the doors. You could repeat that at the bottom too. For the adhesive, try the spray on Super 77 or E6000, then staple in place for extra security.

I have a shelter logic that started falling apart at the ribs at 6 months. I live in Oregon. I love this idea!

The door looks fantastic! Love it. Great job everyone. Ashley you have a great vision for all what you do... Enjoying watching you guys/gals. Yes, you are worth watching... Thank you for your ingenuity.

That looks great

Nice job.

Nice job looking good

Love this idea! The Sugiban (sp?) doors are awesome and the cat door is the best idea. Thanks for always showing your pets. They are all so cute. The kids are such good help. Great job guys!

Lol. I sincerely love how you guys work together... Also you are sometimes unsure if you know what you are doing, yet it always looks like you know exactly what you are doing! Lol. Love it!

Great idea Ada! Carin’ about the cats. Guys, it looks great.

Love how that turned out. Great upload👍🏻.

Looking good ,like the cat door. I love how you all can work together and have fun and still have great accomplishments.

Nine Nine can't get those darn cats to play with him.☹ Nice doors. Perfect Cat Door music. 🎶

Great job it looks beautiful. Yes our winds are very strong and do alot of damage.

Once again, artistry and functionality perfectly blended. You’re amazing!

have you considered earth berming it cover it with metal or other water proof strong sides . Then simply make a mound of earth over the entire structure . wind will simply go over and around it . the sun wont heat it up so cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

That is awesome! I have been kicking around how to fix ours!

That came out pretty! I like the rustic look!

Love the door! So very clever.

I guess I'm watching your creative videos backwards? I'm glad you fixed the hoopstorage. I had one for lonly 6 months. The frame did not hold 2 feet of snow. It was one of those surprises storms. Anyway you make things look easy. Love the look. In less than a 150 days look what your family has accomplished. I'm in awe over your Awesomeness. Blessings, Peace out G'Ma

It looks very professional! You did a great job. I really enjoyed this episode.

Nothing more satifying than see someone build something..Awesome job family!

Excellent! I have a couple of these sheds serving various purposes. This gives me an idea what I can do to repurpose them when they break down. Thanks for sharing!

It really does look that good!!! Y'all rock!!!

It makes a great garage; it's very creative & I love the burnt wood.

I love those cats , thanks for the great ideas !

Great job and good thinking. I bet it was expensive given the price of lumber these days. As for catching rain, I think rounded is perfect. There is a solution and you will figure it out.

Looks really good. Awesome retrofit!

Nicely done!!!

Great job!!! You guys encourage me that I can do hard things too.

It’s gorgeous. 😃 Happy New Year!!!

Excellent work guys, it looks really good. Love and be safe!!!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

Looks amazing, you two have good ideas .

Wow you guys are getting to be really good at construction ! Very nice job! I like the kitty entrance. Keep up the good work and videos and thank you for sharing.

Great job!!! Looks amazing!

A sigh of relief for your crew and it looks fabulous! I imagine the first easy egress! ahhh!!!

Great job very professional looking

Great solution! The reverse engineering of the door was brilliant! Thanks for the video and the "game plan" for our Shelter Logic tent "upgrade".👍🏻

Cool looking door. I love your creativity it is so fun to watch. Cat door --- absolutely genius.

Great job! You guys have skills!

Awesome job! I really liked the burnt wood look and that the whole family was involved.

Love it very sturdy great job thank you I have to fix my door now I know where to start

Awesome job looks great 👍

Fully brilliant idea!

It would be possible to take some of the charcoal from brushing the sho shugiban(sp) mixed with the oil brushed on the raw ends and it would preserve and match the rest of the door front! Terrific way to fix a problem! You all rock!

I love the cat door! So cute!

You have evolved into some great carpenters. Love your work.

Your door looks absolutely fabulous!!

Nice job guys. Hope the rainstorms treated you kindly! Take care.

Looks really nice.

Looks so good, great job.

Always inspired by the work crew, worked the same way with my family, mostly when Judy and I colluded, her brains, my brain. I was hoping you would be able to tie that metal frame to those planted 4×'s anchoring the whole structure. Love from Mitch and Judy

Excellent door! Your videos are, as well!

Excellent job guys!!👍👍

Nice job Guys, the build looks great 👍

Hi. I have a similar structure from harbor freight and the main tarp was starting to degrade from uv also. I ordered another heavy duty tarp on eBay for about $100 to go over the original cover. The new cover protects the original cover from uv. The new cover is longer than the frame by about a foot. I made several extra holes in the edge of the tarp with a hot nail. Then use a 3/16 cord strung through the holes to secure the new tarp. Good luck

Thank you very much! We have one of these at our country place. This will be perfect fix for us.

Beautiful solution…well done

GREAT 👍 JOB EVERYONE!! You guys ROCK!!!

Great solution for the Shelter Logic. 👍 Looks sharp too.

Absolutely love it!

Looks so great

That was interesting to watch and it looks good.

You guys have never done anything like that before? That is a testament to your know how and ingenuity. The fact that its gorgeous to boot is just the cake topper. Knocked it out of the park with this. I cant wait to see what you do to cover the "roof" I've seen some beautiful roofing metal some that even look like clay tile didn't even know those existed until the nomadic movement put them on their build. I'm guessing you'll just cut the tarp off at that point?

Nice job looks great

You did a fantastic job!!!

Very good video. Thank you!

HOW ABOUT , USING THE FRONT TENT OLD SHELTER ON THE INSIDE , SO TO SEAL THE SPACES AND STAPLE ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR , AS TO SEAL RAIN AND AIR TIGHT ? ALSO DO A TRENCH ON THE FRONT DOOR AND ON THE SIDES OF THE TENT.

Came for the bags, stayed for the barn doors. LOL

The cats really like it!

It's beautiful!

Great idea Ada!

I love this!! Very innovative!!

Hay the doors looks good 👍🏻 good joy team work

3:24 Oh boy, Jonathan’s favorite tool! 😂😬

Looks amazing.
