Hello

DagNabit, that old shed door was flapping away again! Well no more!

I got a 3 foot PT 4x4 and buried half in the ground so the door would not hit the shed and pull on the hinges, then screwed in a cup hook and hooked up an old bundgy cord to the door handle and cup hook!! Works great! See pics Below

Nice!
 

Thanks MacP

I had to get one bug out of that design and take some foam pipe insulation and zinc plated truss screws with the built in washers and screw a piece to the post for a cushon when the door bumps it.
Works great see pic below!!

Much quieter with that foam on there too. Great job!
 
Nice work Don. That looks like a nice lookin shed from what we can see. Got a pic of the whole thing? What do you store in it? Is it a tool shed, wood shed?
