1x6 pine boards for the back.
Glue and nail flush with the face of the door using a pin nailer and 1 23 ga pin nails.
Build the door the first thing i did was layout my 5 pieces of 1 6 boards side by side butted up against each other.

Continue doing this to all the openings.
Grab a pencil mark the length of the inside of the panel opening and cut to size on the miter saw.
Make sure to get t g boards for the door itself and regular boards for all of the trims.

Cut list for installing a sliding door designed to cover a 30 inch wide opening with 4 inch casing on either side this door measures 38 inches wide by 2 inches thick by 83 inches tall.
Depending on how thick the door is and attaching it to the shed wall with lag screws.
The simplest way to build a door is to use 1x10 t g barn siding for the door and regular straight edge 1x10 barn siding for trims and cross bucks.
If you are building a barn with wooden siding put nicest boards aside for doors trims.
I added a little bit of wood glue between each piece to give the door stability.
