How to create.......
Posted by elansp on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 8:27 PM

Hi all-

I am setting up a shelf layout in my garage that will go past the door to my den.  I need to make a "foldable" section in front of the door so as to not restrict or make uncomfortable access to the den.  Anyone have any build ideas?  I was thinking to use door hinges on one side but would love to know the easiest way to set it up and run electrical.  Any pictures or other insight would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance...

The  most accurate hinge to use will be a piano hinge rather than door hinges.  It will bemuch stronger also.
