    For the hinges, I formed some strap hinges around the tube, and welded them to the door galvanized (yes, I ground off the zinc, and then sprayed some cold-galvanizing). I through-bolted them to the black frame, so the door can be removed -

    The door handle is just more of the same - to make darn sure nobody pushes on the netting!
