@DIYwithRick how did this door hold up? Looking to start my build soon and like the use of pocket screws.
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.
“I’m incapable of making a straight cut...” . Such honesty is refreshing!

I am an eighteen year old in college far from ever buying a house or owning any of these tools. Why am I watching this? Who knows, but man this was so pleasant to watch and I loved the little part with the "project manager" hahaha. I'm subscribed, can't wait to watch your other videos!

“I don’t even exercise”. Fantastic. Quote from an amazing human in a wonderful film!
You made it look so “simple”. I loved it!. Beautiful door. I am very impressed with your design and craftmanship..
Just wanted to say thinks for making this video. I was able to build a custom door for our laundry room that my wife and friends loved. I am now building a larger one that's 10' wife by 7' tall with this game design. The first was awesome!
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.

Awesome build and design! A bard door, 36w X 84h is $526 at Home Depot. Thanks to you two, I will build my own now. Thank you for this great video! Cheers from Michigan!

All us married guys have “project managers” that were stuck with for life 🤣 they all love taking credit for the finish product too

Hey we’re the inspiration 🤣🙏✌🏼
turned out amazing !! I have been looking into a set for the house I bought !! The living room and dining room are connected and basically open, currently with really ugly and out of date wood work that has began to chip. But there was no way I way paying 700+ for a pair of doors ! I am going to do them myself now, thanks for the great idea !
I'd love to see some sort of pocket handle for sliding it open from the backside. Beautiful door.
Just showed your door to the wife. She suggested i router out an oval recess to serve as a handle on ours. Thanks for the great video.
Well done, I think the location of the door is ideal. Personably im not the biggest fan of the back (kitchen side) how ever I imagine the door will be open 99% of the time and is pretty much just an aesthetic item.

Yeah Wabi I agree! Not a huge fan of the back either but it will always be open unless we're in the dining room. One of the downfalls of using T&G boards i'm afraid!

Door looks great! I’m happy that I watched your video. I was considering T&G but after seeing the other side I’m not sure I want to use that. The side with the hardware looks beautiful though!! Love the idea of using a header. I’d rather have that even if my boards were 16” oc
I’m a fan of the home depot rough pine too. It looks like old barn wood and it’s super cheap. Your project looks great.
Beautiful door. I am very impressed with your design and craftmanship.
Great build. Gives me ideas for two 8’ tall 50” wide doors for a 8’ opening.
Made my own today following this video to the letter, wish I could post the results . Turned out great

Thanks Rick! This was helpful! Got mine built and up, just need to poly it. All the best!
Bested by a lid =p Love these doors, so much better than swing doors for various reasons in my experience. One can't lets say put a plant behind a swing door and see the plant of the door is open. One could put a dresser or some other furniture in front of a swing door, etc. Thank you so much for sharing!
You made it look so “simple”. I loved it!
Finally, a installation video that makes sense. Great clip!
I was mostly done before I looked at your Video. Door was already made from Pallet wood I did it myself, as well as hung rail on my own WHAT A CHORE!!! However on the hanging of door I wasn't sure of specs for rollers and floor guide. You answered those questions for me Thank you...

Thank you for sharing I love the door design and the color
Great idea with the header! Aside if the support, it really made the project pop in a great way
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.
Great project & video~! I'm looking to do the same thing for our bathroom. This video is the shove I needed. Thanks for sharing~!
Rick, awesome video... even better hat!
Great tutorial! I have been looking at a basement doorway that this sliding door would be perfect!
Awesome DIY barn door! It looks fantastic!
This is awesome and very straight forward. Thank you
Nice video. The making of the door looks easy. Once hung, it really looked great ! Barry
You got massive views on your door! Not sure why anyone gave you a thumbs down it is a true diy and came out awesome. Still way more likes!

Very satisfying!
Slick! Nice job. thanks for the vid
Great job ! That door looks AMAZING!
Great Job!! What is the measurement for the door
you COULD have done a groove for the fins ( the plastic things on the floor ) with yur table saw .... if yu'd planned ahead that would have been very easy to do....
why does this video make me so happy
Been building these doors with T and G for awhile, much easier man if you layout and put together T and G boards first and then attach outer border next. Also mill down your pine boards with planer, they will be even, less sanding.
@chrismorton2016

Where do you find T and G end pieces? Or do you make them yourself?
just completed my door using your plan. it came out awesome. measurements are a little off the door ends up being 38 inches wide. and the central boards are about 31 inches i believe.

Hilarious yet very informative and helpful video. I’m taking on basically the same project for the first time tomorrow. Looks like easy money...until it’s me doing it haha.
Georgeous Door.
I really enjoyed watching this kind video, so much fun and learn so much stuff, Thank you so much!
Looks great, and I really like the detail that you go into for those with no carpentry experience, but maybe an architrave for a little more soundproofing/air flow seal between rooms?
@DIYwithRick
7 жыл бұрын
thanks! the room isn't closed off (opens into living room) so airflow really shouldn't be a problem. soundproofing isn't really necessary either as we're in one room or the other, but not a bad idea!
Looks great.. Did you say your miter saw wouldn't cut that angle?
I have the same problem with straight cuts! I wish I'd had clamps to clamp my straight edge down when I was in woodworking class back in the 90s. It would have made it so much easier bc I always ended up moving it when trying to draw a straight line. LOL. We didn't have a speed square in the class for some reason. Nice tutorial. The hardware seems nice. The stain color is beautiful!
I love the "Project Manager" part, that made me laugh!!!
Absolutely love that door ...im going to start mine soon.....you did a wonderful job!!
Thanks for the video, it is banging! Love the sounds!✌🏽👊🏽🤘🏽👏🏽

Things moved fast, did you only glue and staple? I am not sure that holds enough, I glue and screw. My son says I dont need to screw , just glue and staple...what is best? Thank you Paul
Awesome DIY video, Rick! Can't wait for your next video!
Thank you for this video. You made this look so easy! It turned out great!!!
Highly recommend the addition of soft close attachments. Especially if you have kids and the door gets operated alot.
looks fantastic, awesome job there bud!

Fascinante tu trabajo, y divertida la forma como intentas sacar el pegamento... Me ha pasado con la silicona en mi caso... xD Saludos desde Perú...
Door came out SWEEEEET! So correct me if I'm wrong...the header is bolted to the studs and the track is bolted to the header? The lag screws for the track ( black screws) ARE NOT bolted to the studs at all? The reason I ask is bcuz my studs aren't 16" OC. Thanks.
your door turned out great! simple, yet classic look! I'll be building one similar to yours soon. I do not like the Black door guide in the floor though. it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. I don't think i would add that feature on mine being I will have a 44" door it may do fine without the guide.
Love the testing method for the bar.
Just saw this on r/diy today. You did a fantastic job on the door, and a great job creating a video that was enjoyable to watch. Keep up the excellent work!

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?
Such a great project. This is something I've been thinking about making for awhile. 👍🏻

Nice job, got some good ideas for mine when I get around to it.
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.
Nice job. You should route a small pocket on the kitchen side, opposite the handle, to help with opening.

What about the light switch?

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.

Yeah it's not optimal. If I had some electrical exp. I would move it. But! The room doesn't get much use and it's just a slide away when we do!

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.
"Haven't given it much thought" opens Autocad schematic of a door.
Looks good but it will wear on the bottom of the door and the wall molding since nothing is keeping it from rubbing against each other. Part of the reason to route that channel on the bottom for the guide.
Funny & informative video. Gonna try and do this in my home. I hope it’s as easy as you made it seem lol. That glue tho 😂
Still a great video I built a barn door was wondering how to hang the damn thing good heads up good tip appreciate it
Fantastic. Love how the "project manager" used her middle finger!!!!!
Nice job on the door! 👌
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
