Constructing oak sliding doors?

[flanajb]

We have a set of 5' 3" patio doors which open inwards and they leak something rotten, so I have been thinking about replacing them with a set of sliding doors. 5' 3" and I was wondering how straight forward it is to make them?

If anyone has a pdf showing timber cross sections for the stiles and rails of the doors and frames for sliding doors, be it inline or bifold then I would love to grab a copy.

Thanks

Try downloading the datasheet PDF's from these they may help

they also use basic aquamac seals which can be fitted with a router bit or spindle with the appropriate cutter

Perfect. That's just what I was looking for!
