    Barn doors

    Well, the wife wanted sliding barn doors so off to lowes I went. $500 for the set at lowes, so that was a no go. A stack of 1x4s, some hardware and a sliding track kit later, I started building

      Got then in place last night. I did some adjusting, which was easy with the tracking kit I bought. Now it's the wife's turn to make them look pretty with paint and hardware. I'll report back in a couple days.

                What track kit did you buy? How much ($) is that portion of the project?

                  I would say maybe $100-125 worth of wood and the track kit was only about $15.

                  Shop National Hardware 8-Piece 60-in Bi-pass Door Sliding Closet Door Track Kit in the Sliding Closet Door Tracks & Track Kits department at Lowe's.com. Securing and stabilizing DIY projects is an important step in building something that can withstand a lifetime of use. Additionally, the Weatherguard (TM)


                  I also bought some large hinges that i cut the actually hinge part off of, just leaving the large tab that we are going to put at the top. Basically to give it the appearance as though that is whats holding it up. Hard to explain, but once i get it done you will be able to see.

                      Very nice. Those are getting to be very popular.
                      Thank you for sharing.

                      My barndo build is progressing and sometime in the future I will have a quite a few doors to build, barn doors being some of them. Can't wait.

                            Looks great! Did you run the 1x4's on a joiner? They fit together really good, looks like.

                              The 1×s I used were straight edge so it was pretty simple and quick to build with a tight fit.. My only complaint was the weight if each door. They're about 60lbs a peice. I was worried the track wouldn't hold them, but it seems to be alright
