Scenario: We live in Indiana...frequently drops to freezing/below freezing in dead of winter. We are building a 6 x 8 henhouse. We will be insulating our structure. I was fine with just a homemade door (core with T111 overtop) or even a narrow interior type door. My husband insists that we need an exterior door for proper weather resistance, etc. Okay, but I want my door to open outward, so conserve space in the somewhat already small room. My husband insists that we have to have it open inward, because it won't seal properly if we reverse a standard exterior door. But I see a LOT of doors on this site that open outward...???
So I guess I'm wondering what kinds of doors others have used...has anyone else used interior type doors? Has anyone else reversed an exterior door?
I want to do this right. I just hate being forced to give up so much of my already small space by having to leave swing room for a door to open inward. Any advice/comments/examples would be appreciated...
