I am making room in my garage for my build. I would like to move the lawn tractor from the garage to the screened-in back porch. It won't fit through the screen door.
I think that I could make hinged door at either end to accomplish this (pics below). My original thought was to do a piano hinge at the top of the currently closed-in end and raise it up and out or something (gas shocks for keeping it open or locking arm like on folding table legs). Maybe adding a couple of diagonal cables to keep it from twisting once it's disconnected from the walls. This is the end of the porch least travelled. But the other end may be simpler and not require near as much hardware if it swings open like a traditional door.
Any input would be appreciated.
