I'm anticipating a little trouble putting regular door hinges on my roundwood shed. I think the timbers would pinch.

I could either hew them square (what's the fun in that?) Or use a different hinge.

Maybe a lag hinge, like used for gates? Anyone have any better solutions?

Thanks!

Jennie, can you show us a photo so we are not guessing please?

Those bolts work well in the correct place, but an image will clarify some other aspects of their use.
 
Uh oh, we're definitely being carded. Here, show him this tiny ad:
