Sliding barn door

When we purchased our home, we could not fit our new lounges through any of the doors. So hubby cut through a wall, (as you do 😜) to gain internal access from the garage. Of course we then thought ‘why not keep the entrance permanent & create a quirky sliding barn door into our home’ so we did 🙌

I will include before & after pics & the materials used from Bunnings

These became the door

Steps

Step 1

Cut a hole in the door

Gyprocked

Added the track

Added our creation of the two pieces of panelling

Added the handle

All finished. Love how it all blends together. You would never know that this was not the original internal access from the garage.

Hi Patsy60, just wondering if you also have a track at the bottom of the door or something to slide the door at the bottom. Thanks Di

Hi @diohoh,

Allow me to tag @Patsy60 so she is notified of your question.

It doesn't look like she has used the floor guide, but they are usually included in the door track kits.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Jacob
