Upwey, backyard Shabby-chic Style Deck, Melbourne

I handmade this door from an inspirational trip to India. I then installed the door and constructed the landscape around the door, fun project to do.

Thanks for the question. I checked half of of each railroad sleeper out with a chainsaw so the fitted snug together and then used bolts to secure them.

Door - O great, so you would make just the door and then I could build around it like you did or use it however I decide... Now what would that cost and would there be a way to talk to you directly or just through houzz? Thanks

Hi, thanks for your interest. This door was a one off made specifically for this area, and at this point in time I am too busy with my decking business to go into production of the doors. I may reconsider in the future however if I feel the demand is there.
Thanks, Rob from Melbourne Decking

Yes! These are 240mmx140mm redgum railway sleepers, very heavy and filled with character. Thanks for the question hope this helps regards Robert from Melbourne decking.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Jay Sifford added this to Explore Your Garden Personality: The Traveler
Incorporate art and artifacts to tell your story. Perhaps you have returned from a trip abroad with souvenirs or artifacts. Placed appropriately, these pieces will help you tell your story. A few pieces here and there will be sufficient. Remember, you are subtly telling your story, not creating a flea market.
Paintbox Garden added this to Artful Salvage: Old Doors Decorate the Garden
For small spaces a door with real character can be a valuable accent piece — a set piece. Apart from being entirely functional, a door like this has a story to tell.
Bryan Anthony added this to 77 Gorgeous Garden Gates
69. This handmade door created by Melbourne Decking for an Australian garden was inspired by a trip to India.
