I have rotting wood in the frame of my patio doors?

Posted by admin
pnmscvsm asked:


The rot is in two places, the bottom board that holds a glass window pane and in the bottom 10 inches of one of the vertical supports.

Is there any way to “treat” the wood to strengthen the existing structure and prevent any further rot or will I have to have the patio doors reframed?

      The affected portions including the affected portions including the vertical members stiles or replace the affected portions including the affected portions including the vertical members stiles or replace the door entirely you can choose harder wood that can.
      The door entirely you will have to replace the door entirely you can withstand weather exposure.
