I have been scheming of ways to to make my garage doors into faux carriage doors for a while, but our friend Randy did it first! That makes my life SO MUCH EASIER!! Luckily, he and his wife took a ton of pictures too, so that we could feature it on the blog. And, I KNOW you all wanna see how it is done, well, here you go!

Please remember, this blog is for entertainment purposes only. As with ALL of our free Handmade projects and tutorials, be certain to read over the complete walkthrough before starting a project. Build at your own risk and be smart, be safe. We will not be responsible for any injury or damage incurred while following a walkthrough from our site. None of our posts should be considered expert advice; please consult a professional when needed, read all safety and instruction manuals, and take all safety precautions. All projects performed following instructions found on this site are done at your own risk. 

We have worked very hard and have spent a lot of time creating this walkthrough! This project may not be reproduced on any blog without receiving Bekob’s written permission before posting. If you receive permission, you may use the finished garage door image only, and link back to Bekob for the walkthrough. No part of the walkthrough may be copied except for personal incidental noncommercial home use. If you build the project, and post about it, please link back to the instructions on Bekob. Thank you. Also be sure to follow the instrauctions, the garage door must be completely closed when attaching the wood, and do not skip the new spring step. If you try this project you do so at your own risk.

Carriage Door walkthrough

Supplies:  (for a 7′ x 16′ door) 4 sheets of 4 x 8′ outdoor groove board Pine 1 x 6 (plus any wider segments you might need)
(Length according to design and panels on garage door) Liquid Nail adhesive Self Tapping Screws Nails Stain/Paint Decorative Hardware
Garage door opener Springs   Tools: Circular saw Miter saw or handsaw and miter box (to keep cuts straight) Jig saw or reciprocating saw Drill Hammer Caulking Gun

**The space that is left at the top of the door in order to be able to operate, can be covered on the door frame (the actual wall portion of the opening) with an extra piece of case molding.

Remember that this could work for single garage doors too. And whatever design you love best you can try to imitate. Look for the carriage doors that you love, I sketched a few random options out, cause I like to sketch, no they are not well fitted but you get the option right? Good.

  Cost Breakdown: Lumber $250. Stain $30. Hardware $75. Tension Springs $140. Total $495. Congratulations you just saved yourself  about $6,000 dollars, AT LEAST!   (*Hey locals -to get the installed price with labor please contact Randy) Social Retargeting by Chango
