*This is a tutorial for one

double sided Barn Door with

trim work on one side only.

You will have to double the

amount of wood you need

for the trim if you want it on

both sides. We didn't trim

both sides because the door

will stay open most of the

time and we didn't want the

added weight for something

that we didn't feel would

show very much.

This is the side that would

You also want to paint your

1x6x8 support beam at this

time and spray paint all your

hardware black.

We added in the trim for the

center of the door and filled

in the gaps with wood filler

and then painted it all.

So pretty but boy is it heavy!

Using a level and finding the

studs with a stud finder

Brian screwed this piece in to

the wall with a standard

drill.

The purpose of this piece of

wood is not only to be

decorative but to also add

extra support to the Lag

screws which support the

track. It gives the screws an

extra 3/4" of wood to go

through while also providing

piece of steel.piece of steel.

We measured the wall to see

where the studs were and

then using a Hammer Drill

and 3/8 inch drill bit, drilled

6 holes in to the 8 ft piece of

steel. Brian used some oil to

lubricate the bit each time

he drilled a hole since he

didn't use a masonary bit. If

you are having difficulty

drilling your holes, you can

first drill a pilot hole with a

smaller bit to get you

started.

Then he attached the 8ft

steel piece to the 1x4x8

wood using the lag screws

which fit through the center

of the pipe nipple.

This is how you will attach

the rod in order of hardware:

Lag Screw

Flat washer

8ft Track

Pipe Nipple

Using a hammer he tacked

it in to the wood and then

used the socket wrench to

secure it all the way in.

this process)

clearance you need from the

floor to the bottom of the

door.

Our door way is 7'10". On

the 18inch steel pieces we

drilled the holes 1.5" from

either end of the steel and

the middle hole was drilled

exactly at 9 inches from

either end. Dead middle.

Three holes total.

We knew we needed 1/2

inch of clearance from the

bottom of the track to the

top of the door and we

needed 1 1/2" of clearance

from the floor to the bottom

of the door. Once we had

this information we drilled

the holes in to the door at

the location we wanted our

brackets to be.

We attached the brackets in

this order:

3/8"x 2 1/2" Hex Bolt

3/8" flat washer

door

3/8" flat washer

Okay, now that you have

your hardware all in place it

is time to hang the darn

thing.....hands sweating,

praying that you did the

math correctly.....YAY!!! IT

WORKS!!!!

Next we attached the floor

guide because due to the

weight of the door it will

push away from the wall

without a guide holding it in

place.

We used a Corn brace L

bracket and drilled it in to

the floor and stuck a

furniture pad on to it to keep

it from scratching the wood

and also to allow the door to

roll against it smoothly. This

held the door in place.

21/32

Next we attached the last

two Corn brace L brackets

to the 1x4x8 white wood

holding the track to serve as

stoppers and keep the doorfrom rolling off the track!

That would be bad!

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BmkV5LBLLGw/VAigmbGCBjI/AAAAAAAAC_8/Y2YoFP4hNJs/s1600/blog%2Bposts-1-11.jpg


22/32

Once those are in place, you

can safely use your door!

(I got a little ahead of

myself and took this picture

before we attached the

stoppers...oops!)

Here is the back of the door

that is visible to the kitchen

when closed

You can see above where

the 18' bracket bolts attach

to the back of the door.

project..

It wasn't easy but it wasn't

hard either. We were able to

execute it rather quickly

which is always a major

bonus in my book. We did

try to stain the door first with

white stain. It didn't end up

looking very good in our

opinion so we went ahead

with painting it instead and I

like it much better this way.

Its funny that once we did

this project, I now see Barn

Door Hardware for sale

everywhere I go.

The thing is, its always way

more expensive then what

we ended up paying by

making it ourselves. I know

that finding the 8ft piece of

steel seems like a huge pain

but with a little leg work you

will find one and it will be so

worth it in the end.

If you have any questions

about this tutorial, please

leave a comment and I will


25/32

answer all of them the best I

can!

In the end I hope that this is

a useful resource for you

especially if you are getting

ready to tackle this project in

your own home!!

Good Luck!

Hi, Yours is the

best tutorial on

this project I have

found. About to

replace two doors

using this. I see

you used 3"

pulleys but do you

think it would

make any

difference to use

4" pulleys? I would

like the larger

diameter on one

of the doors we

are putting in.

Thanks for any

input you can

offer.

The door looks

amazing! Those

steel used as

tracks and door

brackets are reallyclever. I like the

fact that you

decide to make it

a sliding door, it is

much more

convenient to use.

I also like its color,

it makes the

kitchen look old

school yet classy.Thank you for

sharing this lovely

post. All the best

to you.

Thank you so

much for your step

by step tutorial!

My hubby just

mentioned today

that maybe my

idea of a barn

door would be a

good idea. Now, I

have something to

show him to prove

that not only is my

idea good, but also

doable!!

The door looks

great! You guys

did a pretty swell

job on this. It

seems like it

requires a lot of

hard work. But by

the looks of

things, it’s all

worth the effort.

Anyway, I like how

you painted the

steel tracks. It will

probably fade due

to the grinding,

but I think it’ll add

a more vintage

look to it – which

is pretty nice.

Thanks for sharing

this. Have a great

day!

Wow! It seems

that this barn door

turned out a great

project, given that

the materials are

high quality. Also,

the steel brackets

are also a great

idea to make the

door more durable.

Well, thanks for

sharing about this.

All the best to

you!

How about making

a frame that sits

inside the wood

siding panels for

the front and back,

nailing that and

then making the

outside frame and

diagonal piece? Itwould cut back on

the weight quite a

bit, I think. What

do you think? It

looks stunning!
