Looking at those doors, I wonder if you could make some out of hardwood deck boards.

I can't imagine it's any harder than making some garage doors (which I easily have the ability to do BTW) - it's more the time cost.

I'd still have to paint and fit anything I make. My dad suggested I check with a carpenter for how much it would cost to get some made, but I assume they'd want a couple of k, assuming anyone would quote in the first place.

On the heat gunning the knotts - why can't I just use something like colron knotting solution on its own? Why do they need blasting first?

Knotts bleed faster on exterior, learning the resen content (and how long the timber has been cured) takes feel and time , if it's smelly and sticky stand clear and pass it by, dry and light is what you want . Beyond that on a good percentage it'll be fine without burning anything
