Re: church's door project...need your help/ideas in building.

nice project brader, why not start with a design? I would probably suggest to break the sharp angles by making an arch top door... and would be ideally thick like a workbench top.

wala pa akong final design, imaginations palang,
ang balak ay french type yung gilid, kaso baka kasi hindi bagay.

arch top ?
madali bang DIY yun?

question; should the post and beams be finished first before sizing up the frames ?

pahingi ng designs :thanks:

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

kahit pics of the design will do,
just to give us ideas.

i'll be on a hunt for designs this week, i'll take pics if possible. :sailor:

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

Just to start with you could introduce a Judas door, (sorry about that). By that I mean a normal sized door let into one of the main doors. You have most probably figured out for your self that a single door would be way too heavy.
Good luck.

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

Frank's suggestion makes a lot of sense. Looks like opening a large door for a person or two might be cumbersome unless there's an alternative small back or side entrance.

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

Hey there brader jonathanscruz68,

I'll see if I can post some rough designs for the entrance door in the comings days but if not, I'll give it to you on the set day we visit bro willyfernando in March. But I guess we have to inform bro willy of our visit coz I think he is always busy during Saturdays kasi pa sweldo ng mga tao nya.

Anyway bro jon, count me in on your project, I may not be so reliable on wood works but probably more on design and moral support, or maybe on some metal works if needed. :construction:

We can approach bro balarila for the clear epoxy applications to waterproof that entrance door, it is very effective in waterproofing woodworks, that's what I learned during the EB at balarila's place and since looking at your pics posted e wala pang canopy ang entrance, the planned wooden door might be exposed to the outside elements, sayang naman. 😮

I have some ideas already in mind but rather discuss it with you when we see each other in March, have faith brother, I'm pretty sure most PHM guys will be helping out on this project of yours. :2thumbsup:

Regards and GOD bless !!!!!!!! :angel:

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

frank & jayL,
no idea about the judas door,
i'll check it out later,
and thanks very much...

you are right brad, may canopy pa ilalagay , kaso because of budget constraint,
mukhang malaki kasi ang gagastusin namin sa canopy.
later project siguro ang canopy.

so you mean hindi dapat unahin yung door ,
canopy muna ?
i'm thinking kasi of finishing the door with all weather finish.

ill be doing also some rough designs on a sheet of paper,
brad timber suggested the arched type,
i thinking lang kung madaling gawin ( DIY ) lang kasi to...

well this will be a very challenging process,
and i believe with all of you guys there,
everything will push smoothly.

sige inform ko si sir willyfernando later...

thanks to your help brad, and God bless you too...

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

@jon,
ano yung finalized design ng pinto? as in rectangular shape na ba?
kung nariyan ako, lagyan sana natin yan ng concrete mouldings or si bro rosy na lang kaya ang gumawa 😀

Bro jonathanscruz68,

Jon, "Judas Door" is an opening slightly smaller than a regular door installed or provided on a very large or tall door such as in a church. This access door is left open during regular or ordinary days for people who wants to pray inside the church, but of course the main large door, during Sundays or fiestas or other special occasions we see this large main door widely opened to welcome the flocks.

Our church here in Tanay Rizal has one, but because its entrance door opening is quite tall. Jon I don't think you will need this "JUDAS " entrance door because the hight of your door opening is only 3m, so I think with the proper construction of the each panel door and using a really heavy duty door hinges, your 2.30m X 1.0m dimensions will not be difficult to move or swing.

Why do I say this, because I was comparing it to my front door which is about 2.10m X 1.10m in dimension, almost near your provided one door panel size. May I suggest that you use thick hard wood for its main frame coz it will be very heavy, for sure there will be lots of stress points on every wood joints, or if not, a radical approach here bro jon, use 2" GI pipe, gauge 26 for its main frame of each panel, then the joints will be welded together plus it will be provided with flat bars where the wooden planks will be attached be means of carriage bolts.

For sure bro jon walang galaw yang frames na yan compared to the all wooden door frame panel . Initial suggestion lang yan, better to visualize it on paper and I'll post it in the coming days.

Have a nice day and stay safe always !!!! 🙂 :rockf: :p

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

Bro jon, with regards to the canopy, you can provide muna a temporary canopy , maybe of wooden frames or trusses or welded pipes for the mean time with 3" or 4" GI pipes as its initial posts, then the roofing can be the transparent poly carbonate to keep the sunlight through for continues illumination, or use the standard GI corrugated sheet roofings. 😉 :p :rolleyes: 🙂

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

You can have it like timber's arch-look idea

Or probably frankboase judas-door version (door within a door). This way not much stress ifs given on the hinges since only the small door is usually used for guests.

Or as simple as this...you still have the arch-look but the arch portion isn't moving. That way you just need to make standard rectangular doors

Re: church's door project...need your help in building.

since the door opening isn't quite huge, I like my idea :goodluck:
