<p>Safety Valve, you don't live in the four corners area, then (AZ-NM-CO-UT)? (grin)</p><p>With dowels and titebond, you're thinking permanent connection, I take it? My layout must be portable (I hope to move from Iowa to Vermont in 3-4 years); are you thinking about inserting dowels into holes drilled into the ends of the doors, do I understand you?</p><p>I'm intending to use shelving metal strips around the walls (it hooks onto and hangs from the foundation sill). Since the strips will not be screwed to the poured concrete walls (I'm renting), I'm thinking I'm going to have to tightly connect the door "dominoes". </p><p>Further, I believe I'll glue two 1x2 lengthwise runners to the bottomside of the doors to which I'll run screws through the metal horizontal arms (that extend from the wall shelving strips). How are you thinking of attaching legs to your doors? Directly, or perhaps atop an L-girder framework with legs?</p><p>Thank you for your information. </p>
