Where is the best place to install a dog door?

• <div><p>The best place to install a dog door is on an exterior door that leads to a fenced-in area of your rear yard. This position will let your dog go in and out as they need and still keep them safe in your yard when they’re outside. You should plan on installing the bottom of the doggie door a minimum of 3 inches above the bottom of your exterior door to maintain the structural integrity of the door, and never cut out a hole within 3 inches of exterior door glass.</p></div>

How do I know which door sweep to buy?

• <div><p>If you don’t know which door sweep to buy, look into getting a strip or bristle sweep. They’re easy to find at the store, work well for most doors, and the simple installation is DIYable. Before buying one, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-measure-a-door.htm">measure your door width</a> and make sure the one you want is long enough. Most door sweeps are 36 inches long, and you can cut them down to size with a hacksaw. </p></div>

Q: How can I move my couch through a narrow doorway?

• <div><p>To move a couch through a narrow doorway, first measure the couch and the doorway to ensure it will fit. For a close fit, you can create more space by removing the interior door; tap out the hinge pins with a nail and shift the door sideways to remove it from its hinges. You may need to turn the couch on its side or move it in separate pieces, if possible. Using furniture sliders can also help you slide the couch through the doorway.</p></div>

Q: Do exterior doors need to be prehung?

• <div><p>No, exterior doors don&rsquo;t need to be prehung, although <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-picking-new-front-door.htm">choosing a door</a> that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn&rsquo;t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it&rsquo;s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they&rsquo;re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.</p></div>

Q: What kind of wood do you use to make a barn door?

• <div><p>You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.</p></div>
