That would be the Astragal. There's your 2 dollar word for the day.

Plywood barn doors. The kind with a Z pattern. Two sheets of exterior 3/4" plywood with 1" by 3" pine trim. Use the hinges like JGrout mentioned or stove bolts(heads out).

That is what I used on my shed and our current garden shed., although the trim design non the garden shed is different.

As compared to single door I think double doors are much more secure. If you want more ideas on this matter it’s better to get the help of a company that provides window replacement services and installation.

He's baaaack

Thanks to everyone, I went to a door and window place near me who I've dealt with b4 and got a price of $1200 for a custom prehung double door but as my sil's wife just had their first baby this project has been put on hold.
