BUILDING AND INSTALLING THE DOOR

Not sure how this will go, but...

I decided, instead of using a standard 24" door (heavy), I would build a light weight door from 
2x2" redwood and the plastic cardboard,, and redwood 1x6 for the jamb..

Looks good..and it's very strong..and rigid.. 

Now fitting it into the dome..and the tricky part..

cutting into the struts to fit in the  jamb.

Mike's idea, to use the cut-off portion of the struts/hub for a door handle..

Modified a PVC fitting to attach dome strut to door jamb.
