Or you might even consider french.
Making a pocket door out of a french door.
A door will need two mullions to make four light windows.
Mullions frame and hold the glass in the door.
Use a circular saw combined with a carpenter s square or a reciprocating saw if space is tight.
I like the suggestion someone made about sliding glass doors.
Building a set of french doors involves milling many parts and some careful upfront planning.
And a good thought above too.
You can choose to buy mullions in the same wood as the door or different wood for contrast.
The length of this opening has to be 54 1 4 inches the distance that you calculated in step 1.
Select narrow weatherstripping that will not interfere with the movement of the door and placement of the door over the door stop and soffit.
Cut the portion of the plate out that will form the opening for the french doors.
In this story i ll walk you through the whole process.
How would pocket doors ever seal since you need that space to make them slide in and out.
First of all since these doors will be exposed to the elements it s a good idea to make them out of rot resistant hardwood such as white oak or mahogany.
By moving them to the far end it might provide a smooth in and out.
