I'm just getting ready to add a lean-to to my shed and will be installing a sliding door. The materials you used to build straight, square doors, plus the track system and latches are superior to any I have seen anywhere. Thank you for taking the time to make this excellent video and explain the process to someone who is a far better mechanic than I am a contractor!! lol
great job josh. never seen the round rails, the hardware looks very functional. your vid gave me some ideas to apply to my soon to be "barn door build" ..happy trails always....
Thanks you! In the description I have parts numbers and details. I got all my parts through a local Central States manufacturing supplier. However a lot of places that deal with corrugated metal usually can get them for you. The track system is cannon ball track. Hope this helps!
I'm attaching the part numbers for some barn door parts. Let me know if you have any questions. This is all from Central States Manufacturing Inc Aluminum Vertical Rails: 10VRTRL (this is a 10' male vertical rail) 10VRTWH (this is a 10' female vertical rail) -You can get these vertical rails from 10' up to 16' in 2' increments. If you are doing a set of double doors, you will need 3 male rails and 1 female rail to receive the the male in middle. If you do one big door, you only need the male rails Aluminum Bottom Rail For Center Door Guide: 8BRL - 8' 10BRL -10' 12BRL - 12' 14BRL - 14' 16BRL - 16' - these are channels for the bottom of the door. Bottom Rail Guide: 6BGRl - 6' 8BGRL -8' 10BGRL -10' -this is the rail guide that attaches to the wall or ground to keep the door from swaying.
I got all my supplies from a Central States Manufacturing local rep. But any supplier that sells this rail configuration should be able to supply the locking bar.
I actually held up the roller to determine the height for the track. The top of the door hangs approximately at the top of the thread of the roller shaft. You want the door height to overlap the opening some, this helps to keep weather from getting in. Hopefully this helps!
Excellent video, and the finished project was top notch! Can you tell me where you got the parts for the locking bar in the middle of the doors, and the latches on the inside at the ends of the doors. Thanks!
I got all the supplies through a Central States Manufacturing Distributor. You can look them up for a local rep. The track system is Cannon Ball Track, other suppliers might carry it.
Where did you get the hardware and framing for the Sliding doors? I can not find that kit anywhere. if you have a link that would be great. Thanks in advance
I got all the hardware, door rails, and guides through my local Central States Manufacturing supplier. You can look up Central States Manufacturing and find a local dealer. The track is a Cannon ball track setup. You might also be able to find it through metal sales at Lowes, or Home Depot Hope this helps!
Thanks for making this video - really good. How are these doors at sealing compared to a garage door? Looks like you can get all the tolerances pretty tight. Thank you.
Thank you! The doors can adjust quite a bit to get close tolerances, but a garage door seals better. At the bottom of the garage door, you can get it sealed better than sliding doors. So during a blizzard, snow can come in the bottom under extreme wind. But both door set ups have there places.
With materials and labor, the pricing would be comperative to a garage overhead door. Pricing will vary from state to state. But this particular setup was $1200.
All the sliding door parts should have part numbers in the video description! All these materials have to come from a central states manufacturing rep. Metal sales, ABC and some other metal suppliers source them too! I wasn’t able to find these parts online, unfortunately. Hope this helps!
Most suppliers that sells agricultural metal siding should have it. Some supplies would be: ABC metal roofing, Central States Manufacturing, Metal Sales. If you look them up, they should be able to get you a local supplier.
Not exactly sure I understand the question. The horizontal boards are known as girts. The sides are vertical rails. The bottom would be a bottom guide rail. Hopefully this helps. If I didn't understand what you meant, just let me know.
www.centralstatesmfg.com/ is the manufacturer I got all these parts from. Just look up a local retailer near you who you can order through! I have part numbers listed in the description
From Central States Manufacturing. ABC Metal Roofing, and Metal Sales should also be able to get them. You can look all of them up and find a local rep in your area.
Nice job, thanks for posting this. I have two large 12x20 openings to put doors on and this will help me quite a bit. I don't really understand where the framing boards need to be installed against the siding. Are they 2x6's with the back face against the same material the barn siding is installed making them protrude about 1/2" out from the siding J-channel?
Thank you! Ok if I think I’m understanding your question, you are getting to the jamb board of the opening? The board that the wall siding butts up to? I always use 2x material on the jamb to flush up to my track header board, stick it 1 1/2” past frame. The jamb usually protrudes the j channel 1/2”, that way the door never hits the siding as it slides. Hopefully this helps!
@@buildingwithjosh Ok, think I understand. I was thinking of wrapping the opening in 2x6 or 2x4 material like casing. If I understand you, I don't do that I would just put a 2x8 on the jamb and slide it out till the edge is just past the siding J.
You could definitely case out the opening in a 2x6 or 2x4 if you would like too! Just make sure the surface area where the door shuts is flush with your track header board, whether it be your casing or a jamb board. The reason is so when the door shuts it has small tolerance for weather get in. When latched the door can pinch up against. Hopefully that’s makes sense. It sounds like you have a good idea on how to do it!
Im replacing my huge old wooden sliding doors. I found this the best tutorial. Thankyou!

@@buildingwithjosh Thank you Sir!!
@@buildingwithjosh I don't see on the website where I could get these. Do you have a local distributor?
Great Video....thanks!
Thanks, your welcome!
Josh, I live in Elbert County, CO, and wondered if there was a local vendor for central states manufacturing, or do you order directly.
@@MichaelElvey-cc5mq I get it from a metal supplier nearby. Do you have an instagram account, you can pm me and I’ll get you his info.
I can not find that center locking bar ANYWHERE!!! Can you please tell me where to find/buy one??
I get my parts and materials from a Local Central States Manufacturing dealer. Look them up online and see if there is a local dealer near you!
where did you buy the locking bar with hoop for the center door? thanks
I got all my supplies from a Central States Manufacturing local rep. But any supplier that sells this rail configuration should be able to supply the locking bar.
How did you determine height and level for attaching the cannonball rails for the door track?
I actually held up the roller to determine the height for the track. The top of the door hangs approximately at the top of the thread of the roller shaft. You want the door height to overlap the opening some, this helps to keep weather from getting in. Hopefully this helps!
What kind of screws did you use to attach the wood perlins to the metal uprights?
I used a pan head metal tapper screw.
Where can you buy the latches for the center and door ends?
@@susanhilleary5355 same manufacturers that make the door track.
Great video. Is the top bracket and flashing cover designed to wrap around a 2 x 6 at the top?
Thank you!
Yes, the sliding door hood is designed to wrap the brackets and an extra 1 1/2" to cover 2x material and have a 90 degree bend up.
Excellent video, and the finished project was top notch! Can you tell me where you got the parts for the locking bar in the middle of the doors, and the latches on the inside at the ends of the doors. Thanks!
I used a National Hardware latches and locking bar. Farm supply stores carry them. I hope this helps.
Thank you!
@@buildingwithjosh Thanks very much!
Where did you get your track and the over hang metal for it on the top
I got all the supplies through a Central States Manufacturing Distributor. You can look them up for a local rep. The track system is Cannon Ball Track, other suppliers might carry it.
Where did you get the hardware and framing for the Sliding doors? I can not find that kit anywhere. if you have a link that would be great. Thanks in advance

Josh getting ready to build doors, where did you get the metal frame from?
I just posted parts from the video in the description. Check it out!
Good luck with your project!

@@buildingwithjosh thank you - very helpful.
nice. Curious, what would be an average price to install this including all materials?
With materials and labor, the pricing would be comperative to a garage overhead door. Pricing will vary from state to state. But this particular setup was $1200.
Great job, Josh! Does one lock the sliding doors from the inside, and then exit from another door?
Thank you!
Yes, that is exactly how one would lock the doors and exit, through another entry point in the building . Thanks for following our along!
Can you share the name or link of the bottom guide rail?
All the sliding door parts should have part numbers in the video description! All these materials have to come from a central states manufacturing rep. Metal sales, ABC and some other metal suppliers source them too! I wasn’t able to find these parts online, unfortunately. Hope this helps!
Where do you think I could find the vertical/frame rails?
Most suppliers that sells agricultural metal siding should have it. Some supplies would be: ABC metal roofing, Central States Manufacturing, Metal Sales. If you look them up, they should be able to get you a local supplier.
Can you provide the link to the company that you purchase your vertical rails from?
www.centralstatesmfg.com/.
This is the manufacturer of the parts in the video. Just look up a local retailer near you to order from!
Good, I know what to look for. Now to find it locally...thats another story
There are multiple kind of track systems out there. Check a Tractor Supply or some sort of farm store.
What is the framing called used to build the door? Any help would be appreciated.
Not exactly sure I understand the question. The horizontal boards are known as girts. The sides are vertical rails. The bottom would be a bottom guide rail. Hopefully this helps. If I didn't understand what you meant, just let me know.
Yes sir I know what the girts are. But does the vertical rails & the bottom guide rail have any other name? I’ve been looking everywhere for them.
www.centralstatesmfg.com/ is the manufacturer I got all these parts from. Just look up a local retailer near you who you can order through!
I have part numbers listed in the description
Where did you get the channels for the framing?
From Central States Manufacturing. ABC Metal Roofing, and Metal Sales should also be able to get them. You can look all of them up and find a local rep in your area.
Cost for this project?
800 to 1000.
Dramamine required...
