Shed door difficult to close
Hey guys last year I stick built an 7 x 11 shed under our raised back deck . It's on a concrete pad . Typical 2x4 wall construction with aspen board sheathing with metal roof and vinyl siding . No windows . The entry door is a metal pre hung 6 panel with standard weatherstripping .
The roof and walls have roofing felt under the metal and vinyl . Sill plates are caulked to the concrete . Since day one the entry door is hard to close . I figured the weatherstripping had to form/set . But it's been long enough that I don't think that's the cause .
The door/frame are plumb/level/square. Is it possible the space is too air tight ? It feels like the last 2-3 inches before closing the resistance starts . It is not the hinges . My thought is maybe I need to drill some 1 " holes above the door and install some round vents . Any other suggestions ?
