im goin to b hanging a pair of flb timber garage doors
and frame
what would be the best joint to use on the frame?

masona · 28 Sep 2006

I normall use a 1/4 of the width iof the frame with a lap joint as the top bar doesn't do anything but it will stop the side frame pulling inwards.

Yes, or you can do a full half lap if you want to

The other type similar to mortise & tenon is a bridle joint
