Industrial style barn door

Everyone is familiar with the famous sliding barn doors, "barn door" if you go by their origin. The deadline was approaching, I had to move and I had no doors in my apartment. I didn't have the time to build them all, but I saved a space for one, the closet, the others having been ordered. As the access was through a rather narrow hallway, a classic hinged door was not feasible, so I had the opportunity to build a famous barn door, the barn door, with the sliding system.

As there was no need for a hinge, the door needed to be a few centimeters wider on the sides and a few centimeters taller on the height.

The door itself is a sandwich composed of three layers, two outer layers made of spruce wood and an interior one from a OSB plywood 8mm.

With the final measurements of the door known we cut the OSB plywood to 2100 x 700 mm. The plank sizing followed, requiring 24 pieces 175 x 700 x 16 mm.

 

With all the components ready, assembly followed. The boards were glued with adhesive to the OSB plywood, followed by the finishing part. After a sanding Two coats of bath and one of wax for protection.

The wooden part basically finishes here, followed by the other component of the spectrum, the iron. From this point on, the work proceeded with fastening the platband to the wooden door frame and designing the sliding system.
