How to Make a Door in Sons of the Forest

A door requires you to stack seven chopped logs on top of each other. Once you have all seven stacked up, approach the pile with your axe out. You’ll see a red outline in the center. Chope the middle portion of every log except the top one out.

You’ll now have a big hole in the center of the stacked logs. Grab a freshly chopped log, not from this pile, and bring it over to the hole in the middle of the stacked logs. Here you can place the log, which will automatically fit within the hole and create half of a wall.
