Will try to fix the door to the carpentry shed from falling apart. There's some strange panel-like thing on it now, I've never seen anything like it, so I need some help figuring out what it is so I can replace what's broken.
The entire outside of the door is covered with this, each panel piece is two "ribbor" wide. Not and tongue. What on earth is this called?
 
  • Close-up of aged, notched, tongue-and-groove wood paneling on a workshop door, featuring two-rib wide panels with visible wear and a metal edge at the bottom.
  • Worn door with odd paneling, featuring two-rib wide tongue and groove boards. Upper half with glass pane. Handle and red walls partially visible.
It is a panel that I have learned is called the "Busspanel." Presumably common from the 40s to the 60s. A time when it was so fashionable with narrow paneling that they planed it so that each board looked like two.

Busspanel then, strange name. Seems like the chance of finding such is quite small then. :(
 
After a bit of googling, I discovered that it's probably actually called a body panel.

This company seems to sell it; I don't know if they ship, but there might be more manufacturers.

Isn't that door beyond all repair?

You can get a new storage door for under a thousand SEK.

One might renovate for other reasons, like

Wanting to keep the old door/style

Being resource-efficient with both money and the environment

Furthermore, that door, once renovated, will likely last significantly longer than a thousand-crown door.

There won't be a new door unless it's absolutely impossible to fix the old one. Homemade door with completely unique measurements so no standard door will fit. I'll have to look around and see if I can find someone nearby, thanks for the tip larsbj!

Well, as they say, it speaks for itself :cool:
