I had a workman build a pair of shed doors to replace an ill-fitting garage door in my old barn installed by a previous owner. they look very nice, just like your drawing of the double crossbuck doors.. Shed doors often sag over time. they're usually wider than normal doors so you can fit a lawnmower or large tools inside, yet the builder may have tried to keep costs down and designed the doors with insufficient bracing..
If your door is only slightly bowed, take the sandbag or object of similar weight, and lay it across the area that is warped. leave the sandbag on the door for 24 hours or until the warp is completely gone.. The best way i’ve found to straighten a warped door is by exposing it to sunshine. i set the door outside on sawhorses with the convex side facing the sun. the sun’s heat will bend the door back into shape.. Adjusting a warped door. to fix a slightly warped door, try adjusting the stop, partially shimming the hinges, or adding another hinge. where there is a slight bow on the hinge side, centering a third hinge between the top and bottom ones often pulls the door back into alignment..
