Green oak shrinkage

[banjerbill]

I built a porch with 5 x 5 green oak beams seven years ago. I fitted a used uPVC door and frame and of course this has now pulled out of shape due to the oak drying out. I expected this and that was why I used a free door a neighbour was throwing out. I now want to fit a new door and my question is has the oak now stabilized or can I expect more shrinkage?

They're dry now.

more than dry enough now

Pedant mode, sorry.......but they're not beams unless they're horizontal. Vertical members are studs or posts.

As you were.

Yandles sold them to me as beams, I just stood some on end and made them posts Thanks for confirming they will now be dry
