I took my first shot at barn door construction over the weekend. Got it built now not sure what to do with it. Much heaver than I thought.
I was wanting to use flat track barn door hardware but after pricing it I decided to create my own design. Apparently architects have been using it in the decor of high end homes thus the high price. I could not bring myself to pay 1000$ for 40 feet of 1/4 x 2 inch bar stock and 4 pulleys so I went with V groove pulleys designed to run on angle iron. We shall see how well it operates. I hope to get it hung this upcoming weekend.
