I want to build Bi Fold Doors that open up on to a concrete deck. I am currently on the scrounge for doors to put together but can someone tell me how do I put it all together please? I will be building the frame etc all from scratch. Any ideas to get me started?

    Your better off purchasing bifold doors. Comes with all the hardware and instructions. Building your own doors is easy, but you wouldn't have the hardware needed to install them.

    William is right. Bi-folds need a track to slide on. There's a piece that attaches the door to the track. Many apartments use these for closets. In the long run a pre-made set would be easier to install and maintain. I have a set now that I fell against and knocked out of the track.
