How To Make A Sliding Barn Doorway Leisure Middle: The Procedure
Stage one) Build The Frame
The frames are pretty self-explanatory but I have incorporated a completed photo as nicely as a in-depth diagram. I made three individual consoles so that is why you see 6 of these frames.
Stage two) Add The Sides
Connect the three/4″ plywood by 1st implementing a bead of wooden glue about the edge of the plywood and safe using two one/2″ screws. Repeat with each segment.
Stage three) Connect to the wall.
I apologize but I forgot to take a photo of the frame put in prior to confront frame, shelves and cleats have been put in but I have incorporated a diagram down below to give you the measurements.
I put in tongue and groove car or truck-siding for texture which reveals via the open up again aspect. Another good plan would be to paint a contrasting paint shade or include a fun wallpaper on the wall behind the console.
Stage four) Add The Confront Frame
Stage 5) Add cleats and shelves
Stage six) Add top boards.
Do not connect at this position mainly because it will make it more complicated to paint or stain them.
Stage seven) Stain or paint frame and top
Frame and doors: Sherwin Williams SW Iron Ore (same shade that Cassity utilized listed here!)
Prime (Pine): Custom Minwax stain sha
de blend of 50/50 Classic Grey/Jacobean
Stage eight) Make Doorways
You could also make standard shaker cupboard doors adhering to this tutorial listed here.
Rip plywood to 20″ x 30″ panels (or dimension of opening). With nail gun, connect the two 30″ trim boards to the plywood panel.
Double look at your measurement and cut the remaining trim boards to finish the door panel. Attach with nail gun.
To develop the diagonal style and design shown on my amusement heart, your board will be 29 one/4″ very long from corner to corner with an angle of 28 degrees. Again, connect with nail gun.
Stain or paint doors (or the two!). I painted mine Sherwin Williams Iron Ore to match the frame. (This is the same shade Cassity painted her inside doors and colorwashed her barn door listed here to include shade even though nevertheless displaying the wooden grain.)
Stage nine) Hang Doorways
I adopted the guidelines incorporated with my sliding door hardware. See our Remodelaholic picks for spending budget-pleasant sliding door hardware listed here.
Stage ten) Attach top boards to the frame
That is it! Not much too negative for an complete sliding barn door amusement heart, suitable? Now it’s time for the fun part…the accessories.
I chose chunky baskets, aged trunks and steel containers to decorate our man cave opening shelving. They include extra storage even though maintaining a masculine truly feel.

I am so content with the way my sliding barn door amusement heart turned out. All of the match programs and cable bins are concealed behind the barn doors when not in use, but the doors simply slide open up to give entry when necessary. The extra storage is great for all of the PS4/XBox game titles and our DVDs and I even have a basket for distant controls. Existence is fantastic for all of us!
