In this DIY project, Jaco shows how he renovated the shutters of a monumental farm. For this project he ordered custom-sawn multiple okoume waterproof. By ordering the sawing work online you can get started on your project immediately. Read more about his approach in this DIY article.

Description of Jaco

We have restored the old shutters of a monumental farm. The old shutters were completely rotten and now the appearance is perfect again

How I made this project

First of all, we made a drawing to measure the shutters and in terms of sizes and material to get as close as possible to the original. After receiving the wood via the webshop, we first planed the edges of the wood to get nicer edge work. Then new hinges were made in the frame and old ones were removed. Shutters assembled by mounting 3 loose planks (planed) on 1 long plank. This twice for both hatches. Then sealed, primed and painted in the correct color.
