I posted a while ago about the design of a stable door for a local pub and there was discussion about the requirements for a clear glass panel etc but when raised these concerns with the designer and publican was told to just make what they wanted!! On the premise that the customer is always right that is what I did. This is the opening they wanted closing.  I squared up the opening by scribing a frame to the wall and the right hand post and fitted the door shown below. Very rustic and fairly crudely made but they like it and are talking about more work so who am I to complain.  John |

Nice job John.
Ultimately the responsibility is yours for the glass, I'd get a disclaimer.

as has been said john, a very nice piece. i do agree with dom, though that you should cover your ar*e and get a written consent form from the customer and architect. maybe you should check with your insurers and see what they would want. paul  |

Cracking job there John. I'd be happy to drink in that pub ;D
How did you brace the doors to stop droop? The bottom could be ledged & braced but on the top one the brace would obscure the window.

Great piece of work John, got the inspiration I needed from this to do the stable doors for my workshop. Would aslo be interested on how you braced the top half with the window.

Thanks. I have written confirmation from the designer that no clear panel is required so hope this will be ok. The lower door is ledged and braced as normal but the top opening has a strong frame from 50mm x 18mm timber with the corners mitred and reinforced with biscuits like this:-  The door is made from softwood so is not very heavy so i hope this will be ok.
