    A standard 36x80 door will fit. Just make sure if you need it hinged left or right.

    Leave about a ¼" (or less) space around all four edges of the door, which means the door should measure about 72½" x 35½".

    It's a bit short, but you can fit a rubber weather strip to the bottom of the door.

    My space is 31 x 81. What do I buy?

    You could order a custom door to match the measurements exactly, but this would cost a fair amount. Another option is to use a zbar with a 30" door and fit a rubber weather strip to accommodate the small gap at the bottom of the door.
