This is done so that after installation the door opens and closes easily, there are no difficulties in its use.

These boards are stacked on a previously cleared floor, 2 long beams are mounted from below, and 3 transverse beams from above in such a way that a rectangular door-like structure is obtained. At the site of the future castle should be placed bar, whose thickness will be approximately 35 mm. This is necessary to strengthen the design.

Even the slightest bias will not allow the door to close completely. The boards are marked for connecting studs and other fastening elements, holes. After this, the evenness of the corners and dimensions are checked again.
4. When the check is completed, the connection of the box elements begins. To do this, the joints are coated with glue, wooden fasteners and screws are fastened. Corner parts can be further strengthened with metal corners to give stability to the door leaf.
