Would you consider using a barn door for a bathroom? Or do you need privacy? 😬 Asking to see how my house would do on the market if we added a barn door to the bathroom and decided to sell the house.. Thoughts??
@Enzo Moresi That's nice of you to install that for them! I installed one for a master bedroom on my previous home and it did the trick, it was private enough. And this newer one is closing off a laundry room and it blocks out noise pretty good. Definitely better than nothing!
Update just bought all the wood with additional pieces for diagonals. It costs $128 for the wood only and good luck finding decent tongue and groove lumber not warped/twisted, I had to set lumber and weights on mine to get most of the spring out of it. Regardless, I still got a custom made door for a larger and taller archway (my door is 45"x90") for at least half the price for a cheap prefab one. Great video!
These houses are always so clean and makes the install look so easy. What they don’t show is tools and crap everywhere and me dangling off a ladder cussing up a storm because my wife can’t figure out which tool I am asking for.
I almost, well was about to get a custom door made to have the width of 44”. After seeing this I’m going to make my own. I have all the tools needed. Great inspiration / video!!! 👊🏾
Just finished this build. All in it was a few hundred to a thousand dollars cheaper than buying a pre-fab from an online vendor! My only comments would be that I opted for a 2x4 header board instead of a 1" since the track hardware never aligned with the studs. It just seemed that the 2x4 would hold the track/door better than the 1x6. Thanks for posting the links to the parts.
For extra strength holding the boards together, you should have run the three horizontal pieces all the way across and then shortened the length of your two outside vertical pieces to fit in between the 3 horiztonal pieces. The reason being is that the 2 vertical pieces are doing nothing to strengthen the door. They just are trim on the outside.
I would consider doing the stiles and rails on both sides and capping the edges . I'm wondering if this warped

Hello my friend. Installation and construction of the barn door. I watched a successful study. It always works great. thank you for sharing. See you. Great greetings.
i just made this. the only change I would suggest is that the horizontal supports go all the way across. i did like yours and realized the two ends were not supported and nearly broke the two end tongue and groove boards. so had to go to lowes and buy six L brackets and put them on the vertical supports connecting to the 3 horizontal supports.
This is definitely the easier of the videos even considering building the door LOL others remove the casing which I am trying to avoid doing. I might just use wood filler and paint to hide the old hinge areas.
I would love to see another video of you doing EXACTLY that but instead of for a door making them barn shutters for windows (to open and close and let light in as you please)
That would be AWESOME! I have a room I'll be turning into a movie room soon and that could be a great way to block off the sunlight completely - rather than blinds.
I love the video however, I do not see the material details for the wood used. I looked for a video but couldn’t find one. My door is the same size and I really want to build this. 😊
Great job and great video! I have a question. I built doors like this with t & g pine about 5 years ago and also used the same hardware. I glued the t & g together. About a year later, a couple of the vertical boards split. I realized then that I should not have glued the t & g to each other, but only glue the face boards to the t & g. When boards dry, they shrink in width, but not in length. The vertical t & g boards want to shrink while the horizontal face boards won't. Since the t & g boards are connected to each other and trying to pull apart and the horizontals won't let them, they are forced to split since the glue is so strong. Did you have any issues with splitting?
I just bought a new home and I have no door in my master bedroom leading to the sinks (but there is a door that goes in to the toilet/shower area.) After watching this video I'll definitely be building similar to this soon!!! Great job on the video and beautiful door!!
Had to take the bar back off to slide on the stoppers. should almost slide them on and into the rough area that they will sit and then put up the bar. Also what about the floor guide? How did you do your groove for the guide to slide into? Nice finish on the wood!
What is the best hardware to use. We recently bought and assembled a barn door from Amazon but the screws don't seem to hold. So now we are planning to mount the 2x4 for a more secure fit.
When the back of the door is shown, it's clear that he added a sheet of beadboard as that is not T&G. Probably did that to strengthen the door. I would like to see a view of the edge of the door. I would think it would look funky from the side. Wonder if it just wasn't holding together well, as he never mentioned it.
the back of the door is the T&G. It comes like that straight from the store and has the beadboard look. It was unexpected but I almost like the backside better. Look at the pictures at Lowes - you can see the groove down the back middle. www.lowes.com/pd/1-in-x-6-in-x-12-ft-Tongue-and-Groove-Edge-Unfinished-Spruce-Pine-Fir-Board/1000213017
How does the bottom of the door not sway? I’m going to put one in while my house is being remodeled but I’m worried about it swaying. Nothing attaches to the bottom to prevent that?
What did you use to secure the rail tot the header board? I couldn't quite see in the video. My rail came with lag bolts. In theory, I feel that they are long enough to go through the header board and the rails with spacers but that kinda defeats the purpose of the header board right?
Forgive any ignorance on my part, but if the tongue and groove is an inch thick as is the 1x4, that makes the door 2” and the hardware says it’s for doors 1 3/8 to 1 3/4, was there anything special you had to do to accommodate the door or is that extra quarter inch negligible?
No worries! 1x4 material (both the tongue and groove and the 1x4 pine) are ACTUALLY only 3/4" thick - not really 1" thick. Therefore it's 3/4" + 3/4" = 1.5" thick and fits with the hardware. The stores just call it a 1x4 because it's easier than writing .75"x3.5" which are the true dimensions.
Nice work but the bolts for attaching the rollers to the door were put on backwards. It may not matter for your install considering your trim board that spaces off the wall, but for many kits they don’t have this. Putting the door closer to the wall and trims if any, it’s just easiest to run the bolts through the holes set the roller brackets on and then secure with acorn nuts provided.
Nice job and looks great. Did you use anything at the bottom to stop the door from swaying? I’m about to make a similar door and wondering if I need to drill into my floor. I have 2 kids around your little one’s age and I obviously don’t want them messing with it. Thanks.
Thank you Jason! The door kit I used came with 2 different types of bottom door brackets that keep it from swaying. The bracket has a wheel so the door rolls along side it. One is for fastening to the floor and the other is for fastening to the wall/trim and it extends under and around the face of the door (which is what I used). Additionally, and I still need to this to mine, there are little disk to install at the top of the door that will make it where the door can't be lifted off the rails - huge safety issue here. Also included in most kits.
Question, would this be considered fine woodworking or finished carpentry? I want to work specifically on barn doors but dont know what direction to take
I should have included that in the video, but this barn door kit came with 2 guide options. One to fasten to the floor and one that fastens to your baseboard and hooks under the door. Has a wheel that keeps the door rolling smooth.
Hello great video! I have been banging my head trying to figure out a good design for the same exact dimensions. I do have a quick question- I am not finding the material (lumber) list in the video, Ive watched a couple times and dont know what I am missing. Could you provide that?
Hey Dan! Definitely. -Tongue and groove from Home Depot/Lowes - they're about $6 each here. 1x6 size. -The border trims are 1x4s. -Middle trim is 1x6 (dont remember why I switched up size here but I like it) -Rail wood is 1x6 All of the wood is the basic whitewood from the hardware store. Lightweight, cheap, and has wood knots which I like. I do need to put together a more detailed instruction in my description and will get on that! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, looks like I can DIY. What was the cost in wood at the time and what is the weight of the door? Looking to have something larger and the hardware says up to 220lbs
The wood was about $50 for the tongue and groove ($5.50 per board with 8 boards) and $15 for the pine edge pieces. Around $65 total. I'd say it weighs roughly 100lb. If you go wider on your door, you may need a longer rail than the one I used here - this 40" door barely opens with 100% clearance - it's just perfect. If you go wider it'll block your door with this rail length. Good luck! Hope that helps.
At, 6:25 - Why are the slats on the backside of the door smaller than the front? Did you sandwich different wood pieces to the back to make the door thicker? What am I seeing here?
the back side of the tongue and groove has a line through the middle - it's how it comes from the store. It was unexpected but I ended up loving the look, almost better than the front side.
I have a porch that only has storm doors that open to the outside. Reason is the concrete floor on porch is angle down toward the exterior doors/walls. I'm wanting to do these barn doors on the inside but needs to be weatherproof as well. That possible?
Would you consider using a barn door for a bathroom? Or do you need privacy? 😬
Asking to see how my house would do on the market if we added a barn door to the bathroom and decided to sell the house..
Thoughts??
Master bathroom seems like a fine idea to me. But on the guest bathroom that would be a little strange to use IMO.
If I would install one for a bathroom, it would only be for a bathroom that is attached to a bedroom.
I work on a lot of new construction homes and most master baths have barn doors
Guest bathroom...Only if the Barn door set up you were using comes with a stile pocket so you can lock it. Not having a lock on it would be strange
@Enzo Moresi That's nice of you to install that for them! I installed one for a master bedroom on my previous home and it did the trick, it was private enough. And this newer one is closing off a laundry room and it blocks out noise pretty good. Definitely better than nothing!

Could make your own tongue and groove with a router table…
Ratchet straps in lieu of long clamps was a brilliant idea!
These houses are always so clean and makes the install look so easy. What they don’t show is tools and crap everywhere and me dangling off a ladder cussing up a storm because my wife can’t figure out which tool I am asking for.
Train her better.
Crybaby!😂😂

Just wanted to say thank you. With this video, and the instructions with the mounting kit, I was able to complete my own barn door project.

Easy peazy! Doing that tomorrow! I've been procrastinating...silly me.😊
Best barn door video I’ve watched ❤Thank you for sharing!
I can feel how smooth that ride on the track feels like 🔥🔥
I suddenly need to build barn doors for a house that we don’t have. 😂 saving this video for a future project!

Thanks for checking it out!
I like how the stain turned out
Thanks Evan! Yea it cleaned this up nicely

Great tip on the ratchet straps 👍👍
Had to think of something here, my clamps are just short of 40" lol
That barn door really looks awesome! The style, color, and hardware come together nicely. Great stud finding tip too!
Thanks, I'm happy with the turnout too. Goes to show I've come a long way, the last time I made a headboard similar to this, it was all warped lol
Very nice video, we’re making one for our pantry, heading to Menards shortly! Good job👊👊
Thank you! It still works/looks like a charm - 3 years later. Enjoy
Great video!
Great idea on the blue tape trick, will definitely use that little trick when I hang my barn door 🙂
and he didn't have to remove the old door jam! Definitely trying this...
I use this to build my closet at my garage and planning to my barn door. Thank you. Good job.
Love the simple design
Looks great, Shaun...nice video to...I really like the zoom in on the materials...nice touch!
Thanks! I'm always trying to enhance or do a new trick on each new video.
Not just a maker but also a philosopher.
Haha wouldn't that be a great niche

Very nice looking barn door, great build. Love that handle too.
Yea the hardware came out nice. Bulky and solid. Thanks for checking it out
Best one of these I've seen yet.
The door came out lovely and an overall job well done. Thanks for sharing.
This is definitely the easier of the videos even considering building the door LOL others remove the casing which I am trying to avoid doing. I might just use wood filler and paint to hide the old hinge areas.
How do you measure how high the rail needs to go so when you attach the bearings to the door it ends up at just the right height
Thanks! Just what I needed today 🙂
So beautiful
I would love to see another video of you doing EXACTLY that but instead of for a door making them barn shutters for windows (to open and close and let light in as you please)

@@KellyConcepts Make. It. Happen!
Great job!
is that your Pops man, i love your work and this whole vibe in the video
Looks great!!
I love the video however, I do not see the material details for the wood used. I looked for a video but couldn’t find one. My door is the same size and I really want to build this. 😊
Thanks! This was the perfect tutorial for my a barn door build for our bathroom that didn't have a door. Great presentation.
Oh my goodness, I love how these barn doors make a room look. You really did a fantastic job my friend. TFS
Thank you! Yea it changed the dining room in a big way
Super video!! Thank you

Beutifull and seems effortless 👌💪
Beautiful. Where did you buy that one piece track?
thank you! the track was from Amazon amzn.to/4frtHVR
This was a huge help. THANK YOU !!!
Awesome Job
Wow, just got an estimate for $2145.00 for the same exact thing. Glad I found your video. I will give this a go myself. Cheers!
Love the video wish you would have actually listed all the wood in the details
Nice looking door! 👍
Thanks man!
Good job!! Perfect running time!
the cone nuts go in the front - learned that from another site about barn door installation
Had to take the bar back off to slide on the stoppers. should almost slide them on and into the rough area that they will sit and then put up the bar. Also what about the floor guide? How did you do your groove for the guide to slide into?
Nice finish on the wood!
awesome. what grit sanding blocks do you use?
Great vid. Checked my local home depot for materials list. Very expensive wow!! Almost cheaper to buy one but I love the feeling of diy
Prices of lumber have gone up atleast twice by now due to covid
@@KellyConcepts And still much cheaper than buying one.
Nice. So there's no trim or anything on the back side of the door?
Nice job! Love barn doors!
Thank you! Yes, it saved so much room and looks great
Thank you so much for the video, I made my laundry’s door like you did in the video! Everybody loved it
Is there a list where i can see the exact size of materials with details down to size of every wooden board, lug bolts and everything else you used?
Great video and you made the process very easy to understand! Your video production is amazing! Take care and have a blessed day. - Ed
This one took some time to edit so thanks for noticing!
I cannot find the materials list anywhere? Love this door
This looks awesome! (And I love the handle.)
I wish there was a good spot for some barn doors in this house, but alas, no dice.
Haha thanks! This is literally the only spot for one in this house, so we took advantage.
Wow! How simple was that? Awesome look! Can't wait to start ours in Big Bear California!
Thank you! Good luck, it's not difficult at all!
Can I use these tracks for outdoor shed ?
So affordable and swift
Really awesome job I'm going to use your design because of simplicity and quality
Love love love this. I hope I can pull it off.
Love it! Who's your helper? 🤣 He's been in a few videos lately.
🤣 I think he's moving in
This door turned out incredible! Great job on the build and on your detailed explanations!
Thank you! I wasn't sure how this one would go, but turned out great.
@@KellyConcepts Yes it did!

Great Job!! Love the design and finish...I want to do the same thing for my own bathroom
What color stain did you use? Did you use SYP for the trim boards or some type of white wood?
What about the guide on the bottom to keep the bottom of the door from swaying?

Where do you find tongue and groove that is smooth on both sides? Lowe’s and Home Depot have rough cut on one side.
Nice!

-The border trims are 1x4s.
-Middle trim is 1x6 (dont remember why I switched up size here but I like it)
