What kind of vehicle do you have?

I can get 10 foot boards and PVC pipes in my Honda Accord. The back folds down and slide the boards in all way to windshield. 8 footer are piece of cake.

Dancing Queen,

I am not sure PINE is a good wood for front enter door, unless to are going to do a lot of work to keep moisture and insects out of the wood.
Assuming that you want the boards planed AFTER they are glued you are looking for a very large planer, I have never seen anything that large outside of an industrial setting.
IMHO, I have seen some large pre-glued panels at Lowe's that might suit your needs, these are typically used for tables, and if these are not thick enough, you could glue 2 together to get the additional thickness.
I would contact the Villages Woodworking club and talk your project over with them as they may have some ideas to help you.

������*♀️Thank you, you are always the voice of reason.

Boards are squared & planed first, before mortise & tennons are cut, then pieced together. Light sanding, and coat with primer & paint, or Spar, or Marine varnish.

I corrected my post, so it does not sound like I need help getting the boards, as I do not. What I need someone with a 13" planer & a jointer, to square the boards & plane them to a uniform thickness.

I am not sure what you are buying, but I have seen boards that are already plained and slightly larger then your requirements at Lowe's and Home Depot. If you can get away with these, then you will need a biscuit cutter and biscuits large clamps (pipe clamps) and bracing to keep boards flat. My clamps might be wide enough and I have steel to clamp boards flat, but no biscuit cutter. I may have suitable bits with the router, not sure.
Send me a PM if you would like to discuss over then phone, I could give you a call.
