Old Door Privacy Screen

I used old doors from our 1938 home to make this privacy screen for our backyard. I used to hinges to attach them to each other. I painted them and sealed them with Helmsman since it would be outside. For more pictures, and outside decor ideas visit my blog at www.notjustahousewife.net

    I am opening my very own shop and plan on doing this to create a little get-away office space that is moveable!

    I love this idea. I'd like to have a fence between me and a neighbor using doors like this. Ny husband has a few doors like this but has about 10 new side doors with windows that I am trying to figure out what to do with. They are meant to use beside a regular front door.

    It is a protective finish that is meant for outdoors. http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/exterior...

    Brenda R. Are you talking about the side lite doors. They would make a very pretty screen too. You could use some tin or radiator cover tin cut to fit in the glass openings if you want more privacy. Or replace the glass with colored stained glass for privacy.

    Pam D, yes the side light doors are what he has. Some have stained glass, some have beveled glass with the TX star and all have some decorative glass in them. Very pretty and never used. Some still have the paper on them from the manufacturer.

    Brenda, then I would leave the glasses just the way they are. Mix then up when hindging them together. I think that would make a beautiful privacy screen.If they are not very wide since they are not regular door widths, You ay want to attach every 2 together so that they will be more stable when standing when the wind blows. That would keep them from toppling over or you could have your husband attached the ends to 4X4 posts concreted in the ground to keep them upright. Good luck and post a photo once done. I'd love to see your handiwork.
