DIY Outdoor Door? (self.DIY)
submitted 1 year ago by orangeh
So I need a door for my laundry room that will be exposed to the elements. What is a cheap way to do this? I've heard of people buying cheap inside doors and putting shingles on them. Is there a better way? All the outside doors I've seen are ridiculously expensive ($300)

I bought a steel exterior door last week at home depot for $139. Installing it today until it started raining so I'll finish it tomorrow. They have cheaper ones as well.
I don't think I'd trust an interior door or like the idea of all the labor involved in making it weatherproof.

habitat for humanity restores usually have decent doors.. my local one has some bad ass solid metal doors.

An exterior steel door costs $118 at lowes. If you want a window you can spend a fraction more. They come primed, framed, everything you need to go.

There are always people selling used exterior doors on craigslist for $20-$80.

Don't use interior doors exteriorly. The exterior of the interior door will be voraciously unlike the interior of the interior door when compared to the interior door used externally and it's actual interior side.
You've been warned.

If you do, you will get voraciously exteriorized.

Try antique (junk) shops and your local want-ad-type listings. Lots of people toss out doors. All the doors in our house are reclaimed, old discards. Once stripped & stained, they look great.
