Door ideas with structural logs

5 years ago

We're in the process of renovating our cabin and want to add a door to this master bedroom. We can't find any ideas / inspirations for adding a door with decorative logs like this. They are structural, so we won't be removing them. Any ideas / pics / inspiration? The height is 96 in and the width varies due to the logs but averages 42 in. A barn door seems difficult considering the inside wall of the bedroom (first pic)

Would a roll up door work? It would provide privacy, but might not stand up to jumping dogs or pounding kids. Thick curtains aare an option, too.

You could insert a smaller conventional jamb in the opening and scribe casing to the log surface.

For a 36" wide door you need 38" for a rough opening, and you have 42" available. Just frame a conventional swing door that matches the others. The transition to the logs will look just like the existing adjacent walls look now butting into the logs. If you aesthetically want more flat wall showing between the log and door casing, then use a 32" door (34" R.O.).
