    Made 2 barn doors using your construction technique. It worked great. Love the pocket screw construction. That and some glue makes a tight indestructible joint. Hardest part is finding enough straight and halfway true lumber. Thanks for the video.

    Turned out great! I built a sliding door a few years back, and I added a round, pocket door pull to the back side. It is a nice solution for something to grab onto to open it from the other side, without worrying about it hitting the door facing.

    Really nice. But.. Caution putting screws into carpet. I tore a long thread out of my carpet when the screw caught and left a permanent line across the living room. Wife loved it! 2nd, keep hand back at least the length of the nail you are using in the nail gun. I shot a 2 1/2" nail right through my finger when it hit another nail inside the board and went sideways. Oddly, it didn't hurt as much as you would think.

    It looks like those black lag screws provided with the track for the barn door are long enough to go through the spacers and into the studs. However, since you mounted that header/ledger board, wouldn’t you be going through that board And into the sheet rock with nothing behind it? What I’m trying to say is that wouldn’t sure black leg screws be better for this application?

    Great build and instructional video. "Project Manager"... Hilarious. For the channel guide you could consider cutting a piece of trim with the groove, then attach to the bottom edge. Adjust your measurements of the door and trim. For the groove on the trim cut it out with the table saw with multiple passes or use a dado stack blade. Still your door looks great and good job with troubleshooting the door guide.

    Also there is no handle on the other side it seems? And since there is no guide on the back of the door on the bottom it can still bang against the wall right? I know he said it wouldn't but it looks like you could push a little too low on the door and bend shit up top.

    If the door were to go into the wall it wouldn't bend the top hardware. It's about 1" to 3/4" off the trim so there's not enough space to really effect the caster/rail. While a channel for the guide would be better, I can open and close the door multiple times with a good amount of force (not trying to keep it off the wall) and it doesn't even come close to the wall. A routed out handle on the back side would be REALLY nice though, once I learn how to use a router.

    I'm about to conquer the same project, thanks for the video. It was great. I saw in another comment about the light switch, I have the same issue....guess I'll just have to put it on the other side..

    ive installed many of these and one thing i would say to be careful with is leveling the header. If your floor is not level then it might rub the ground when it rolls. easy fix is to raise the door a little
