Dutch Doors
Popular with the 18th-century Dutch settlers of New York and New Jersey, Dutch doors are split horizontally in the middle; open just the top to keep out animals while letting in light and air.
Making your own is straightforward. Saw any wood door in half, then attach each half to the door frame with two hinges apiece. A simple sliding bolt joins the top and bottom as a single, solid panel.
