I decided to design my own.
How to build a sliding gate door.
I had no trouble obtaining most of the hardware from any number of fence and gate companies apart from a suitable latch.
Once the joinery is assembled with glue and screws attach the deckboards to the frame hang the finished gate with heavy duty gate hinges and swing the door open to let in the fun.
The first sharing how to build the barn door and the second will be talking about barn door hardware and installation in our attic family room.
That would hold the gate closed.
Make a steel tubing fence gate from making the frame to complete welding.
We have an awesome building project for you today.
Picture below the kit cost 1850 and they saved over 3000 by doing it themselves.
We re building sliding barn doors.
We started out in the lumber isle at our local hardware store.
The existing gates were only a couple of years old and still worked fine you can see the making of them here but because of an uphill driveway they were aug 16 2013 introduction time to replace the double hinged driveway gates with a single sliding gate.
This is going to be a two part series.
