My Barn Door


I love the look of barn doors.  My sister had two grand barn doors installed in her new home with authentic hardware and they look gorgeous.  I'm always searching pinterest and blog sites for different ideas.  I knew I had to put a door somewhere in my home even though I have a very small house.  I decided that I would put a barn door in my family room since there was no existing door.  By installing a sliding door it would provide a bit of privacy from the entryway and kitchen if needed.  

Here is my barn door...



My design is in no way original nor is the hardware.  I found many ideas on pinterest where people used pipe for the top rail and for the handle and I love the look...plus it was cheap!  





My door is only 33 inches wide by 7 feet tall.  I used 1 x 12 x 8 pine to construct the door and then used 1 x 6 for the backwards "Z" design on the front.  I stained the door with espresso Minwax stain.



I'm very happy with the way it turned out and works really well in my small space.  


Thank you for stopping by...have a great weekend!

    One of the nicest and most original styles I have seen yet! What did you use to attach the door to the pipe at the top to slide it?

    I have been researching like crazy to build one myself. How do you like the way it opens and closes? Does it slide well?

    Did you use anything at the bottom to help it glide, or to keep it from hitting the baseboard or the wall?

    The door used in the building represents the security system of the building. Also the sliding door hardware are used in the commercial building to ensure proper communication and safety of the reception areas.

    Home door and window replacement turned out to be a smart move for me. Not only did it enhance the overall value of my property, but it also reduced my monthly energy bills. It's a win-win situation!
