Hi Everyone,
I'm making a large (2.1m x 1.3m) door for a workshop in a barn. It will have T&G softwood panels on the outside and I'm wondering whether to have a braced frame on the back or just a sheet of birch ply. Which will be more stable? The ply will definitely be pretty heavy so not sure if that is a good idea anyway? It is going to be painted.
If the panels are T&G set 1mm apart, will that leave room for movement and prevent warping?
Thank you in advance!
Rich
