Built a set of barn doors using your video and they turned out perfectly! I lost my daddy four years ago and he was always so great with woodworking. I used the miter saw he gave me after he built my sons hutch before he was born. He knew that was his last build and I cried when I finished. I know he was proud!
I'm a visual learner, I loved that I could watch all the steps, it wasn't sped up, the instructions were very clear but simple, it had the list of parts needed. Overall this was just a perfect explanation video. I'll update once I try for myself! Might be awhile 😅
This video is simply amazing!!! I bought my hardware but finding the right size door has been very expensive and I didn't feel like spending $250 on just a door. You made this process so much easier and the steps and tutorials in this video have truly helped me out. I will be building my door tomorrow after work as I plan on buying all the materials and supplies you have on the list. Again, you truly did a great job on your door. I hope mine turns out just as well.
Same. Because of the odd size of the archway I want to cover, finding a door that would fit it is extremely expensive. I'm glad I found this video as it gives me a much more economic option.
6 yrs after you've put this up and for the DIY'er, its still one of the easiest barn door tutorials out there. I am doing this project tomorrow. Thanks a bunch!
This video inspired me to make my first ever barn door for a guest bedroom that I’m putting together for my daughter. The only advice I have is when purchasing your wood make sure all your wood is straight as possible so they can lineup. And invest in wood clamps the short ones and the long ones you may need them they helped me out a great deal.
Just copied this plan with some variations. I used high grade pine, made mine 9’ tall, and I needed it to be a bit wider so I Used 7 1x6 boards and didn’t use any 1x8’s. I also used a biscuit joiner on each vertical piece of wood, fearing they might not stay together well with 9’ lengths otherwise. One final thing I did was measured every screw hole so they were symmetrical all over the door. It looks far better to leave the holes instead of woodfill over the top of them. It’s an intentional industrial look. Very simple project, so glad I came across this video.
Hello there, I wanted to take an opportunity to share my experience. After watching your vid, I felt confident that my husband and i could master the easy steps you provided in your very precise vid - and we did just that. We made two doors for a total cost of $94.00. This cost included all of the wood, glue, and nails (we live in North GA). Additionally, we paid and extra $30 for the stain, staining rags, and poly, but that was, of course, to be expected. The doors were hung in our upstairs laundry room, which provided me so much more space inside the laundry room itself, and they look amazing! I would love to attach a photo but unable to figure out how to do that here on youtube. After making all the cuts, it literally took my husband and I and hour to make both doors, and that was with us stopping to take phone calls from family, etc. Sanding, staining and poly took another few hours. All in all, YOU ROCK!!!! Wondering if you wouldn't mind doing an easy breezy vid on how to build a craftsman door from scratch...lol.. Anyway, thanks again for sharing - saved us a ton of money!!!! You are very much appreciated on my end. :)
Awesome, and very simplistic video! Since I had most of the materials my project was $59.. Wood was $43 other remaining materials needed $16. Thanks for the lesson💯👌🏾
ignore all the people saying to use the 'proper jointery' honesty because these are supposed to be rustic barn types of furniture and it definitely looks the part and looks sweet. very rustic and old school like people are into nowadays. fancy unseen fasteners are for modern day looks and that's nit what your going for. if there is some warping maybe some gaps over time it really just adds to the old day look and age. keep up the good work!
Closing in on four years after you published this and it’s still helping people. Gotta love that! This is an excellent how-to video. The steps shown can be used in plenty of other projects too. Great job!! Subscribed!
Thank you for this instructional video. My wife and I embarked on making this door with no experience whatsoever and it came out Amazing!! It has become a talking piece in our home, especially since we did it ourselves.
Just built ours, 8' version tall tho. Works great and we spent a little less than $200 on hardware kit and materials to build. Super happy with outcome. Same (smaller) style door at Lowes was $400.
I can't tell you how excited I am to have found your video!!!! I wanted rustic barn doors for my daughter's wedding & have looked high & low for ones that I wouldn't have to sell my soul for. I am very familiar with & own the tools to make this project! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Wow!! Great video!! Thanks for cutting out all the extra usual talking and just showing us step-by-step and showing instructions/material list in the form of text… Superb DIY video!! I actually have confidence i could pull this off easier than other diy barn door videos… thank you much!!!
I think all your videos are the greatest, I’ve build a lot of what you’ve shown and before your videos I couldn’t build my way out of a paper bag. Now my house and all my friends houses are littered with all the stuff I’ve built from your videos. Thank you very much, you don’t know how much you have changed my life...
good job! one tip : spread the glue, either with a foam brush or your fingers. making sure the whole peice is covered with glue will make your project even more sturdy. it will also help with the aging, screws can move over time but glue is stronger then the wood itself! keep up the great projects!
OMG....I... L ❤ V E...it Lol...as the youngest daughter of 5 girls...i was my dad's last hope for a son....so he taught me how to use all the power tools...ive always wanted a Barn Door...im an Artist and Photographer...and i like crafting too...and because i can draw i can make just about anything...lol the SKY'S The LIMIT....right ? you did a GOOD JOB 👌... GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP🔨....
I am a carpenter and every time I do demo and bring it to the commercial dump I and end up filling the bed of my truck with gorgeous reclaimed wood that others tossed. That's how you do these projects for cheap. Your first instinct doesn't have to always be buy new lumber. Reclaimed gives it more character.
Charles spear I've done it since I was a kid and would go to the new construction houses in new neighbourhoods and he use to get so pissed because I'd pick up any piece of wood over 12 inches long as I'm sure I could find a use for it lol. So now damn near 15 years and my own hvac journeyman lic later I take my 7 year old son out with me sometimes and I be damned if he isn't paying me back and taking everything he can find lol..
There was a builder that would throw out in the dumpster enough material to build one house for every two they’d build. In Ohio where it rains a lot, I’d go dive in dumpsters at the developments when we got rained out.
Yeah good luck finding reclaimed 8 foot long pieces of 1x8. I don't know where they come up with these low-ball figures but there's no way you're going to even buy the lumber let alone the hardware for under $40.
Nice video, just some advice for anybody else building this. Sand your boards before assembly and save some headache. The tight spots are a pain to sand once its together. Also use no finer than 120 and no coarser than 100 grit sandpaper. Too fine and the stain doesnt take well, too rough and the stain gets to dark and blotchy. Google search "popping the grain" for the best staining techniques for pine, it can be a tricky wood. Last thing, dont set your screws in a straight line, make them random like the knots in the pine. The straights line of holes stands out on lighter stains.
Great looking build! The company I work for would have charged about $5-600 for that door. My only recommendation would be to sand your parts before assembly. It makes the corners look that much nicer, and it's easier instead of trying to shove sand paper or sanding sponges into those tight miter corners.
Used your video on the weekend to make a barndoor. Video was very helpful and easy to follow. Used pine 1x6s and Fir 1x4s. Was about $260.00 (Cdn). And about 8 hrs to build. Thanks!! 👍
I like putting the screws in from the wall side. Makes for much cleaner looking project. You did a great job on your's. I'm currently building 2 6'x7' barn doors as window blinds in our huge family room in our raised ranch. I'll need to do something funky with the upper tracks since I want the doors to overlap once they meet in the center.
My husband passed before he could finish my son's closet. He thought that a friend of ours who did woodworking would make the doors for my son, but he did not offer, even though he knew they needed to be done. So I am going to do this with your technique as it looks pretty cool. Thank you for your post as it will be one project I can say, done. Amen.
This video is excellent! While I've built a number of doors like this, you're method could be followed by any person who has never done it before with great results. I like your videos because they're so simple. Good job.
Thank you! I was about to google all the supplies cost! I see Facebook Marketplace has some near me for sale for $75 - $100 without hardware which is as low as $27
So in 2015 my fiance who i had been with for 6yrs fell in love with some guy at a stop light. Waisted a masive amount of love time and money. Startred living the single life. All was going well and then i broke my leg and dislocated my shoulder in a basketball ball game. And then a month later i was layed off from my job. Started watching a bit of UA-cam and found Rehab Life. Always wanted to do some wood working. 5 months later i could walk again. Went to H Depot and bought $3K worth of saws power tools etc. Made all kinds of stuff. Some good...some just ok. Here i am 2020...and i find myself watching Rehab Life. You both inpired me to do something I've always wanted to do...thanks and God bless you both.
When I was 21 I had found out that my girlfriend at the time(high school sweetheart) had a 3 way with two guys behind my back..2 days later and I started talking to a girl I knew who i was always in love with but never pursued it...14 years later and 3 kids and I’m still with her...the point is that things happen for a reason
Go to lowes in the section they have furring strips. That's what I used for the trim pieces when I made mine. They are like $1.06 for a 1x4x8... you need about 6 of them. They have cheaper versions of the pine boards you mentioned for about $6 ea. Or you could skip the desperate boards for backing and use T-11 like I did. It's about $20 a sheet. I made 2 doors for about $100... not quite $40 but still very doable and easy and lowes made all the cuts for me at the store. So very easy to assemble. Prices might be higher in your area. This is a great video to make a solid door.
braniganblue thanks for commenting on a 3 yr old comment. Must have really had to search for that one. Must be reallllly desperate for something to complain about. I didn’t “debunk” his video, I thought it was great. Another commenter had asked for prices. I replied. I’m sorry it offended you. I try to be a normal, nice and helpful human. Not an dick in the comment section.
Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial. Great job! Whether it actually costs $40 or $140 in materials, it will still be a lot less expensive than buying barn doors.
Two suggestions - instead of wood filler you can use some of the leftover sawdust mixed with wood glue, which will sand down when dry to be almost invisible. The other way is to buy a plug cutter bit for the drill. Cut plugs from a scrap piece of the same timber as your project and hammer them into the holes with a drop of glue underneath, sanding them flush afterwards.
I have used this video to built this door twice. I did end up needing to move the screws further up and cut out a place for the track to run though the middle. For the second one, I will just buy the ones that don't need the track cut out. I also wanted to share the updated pricing. For the lumber, screws (one box) and wood putty, it came out to $78 + tax.
Thank you so much. My wife always wanted a barn door for in our kitchen and I'm out of work and tight on money but this worked out great! We couldn't be happier.
Great video, I've built 5 of these so far and they all look great; I've modified the size of the boards when dealing with smaller door opening and still looks great. I've done Weathered Gray stain as well. Thank you Rehab Life.
My latest door is going to be weathered grey. Did you use pine? If so, how well did the stain take and did it get blotchy? Ive seen a couple done and the grey just never looks the best.
Thanks for the simple DIY projects. We've used several. I'm old. Ya'll make my back and knees hurt watching you young guys on the floor! Get some horses!! I like when the dog joins in. I used the wood filler on one job but stain didnt look right so next one we used black screws and looked better with the scratches and dings. Keep it up. Great ideas and videos. Thanks again
That Lumber Alone cost more that $40. That being said, This is still a great video and I Appreciate how simple you laid this out for the viewer. Great job !
Agreed. I think carpenters sometimes forget that most folks don't have wood lying around(that's what she said😁😁). Seriously though...super cool video. I just made some outdoor shutters from reclaimed pallet boards(heavy duty ones) and they look fantastic. Cost about 20 bucks total.
This video was made in 2016. The prices of wood rise with all other products. With that said, he figured most people understood how inflation works and that the video was made in 2016.
I just completed this project using this exact plan. Door came out great. Only change I would have made is sand/stain before assembling the door and touch up after. I used knotty pine and the project cost me around $200 with the hardware included. I used stain/poly i had left over from an old project.
Take the sawdust and mix with glue as a wood filler, use putty knife, make sure there's a slight convex shape from pushing it into hole, let dry, sand smooth with the board - that's how the patchers do it in the lumber mills
Praise The Lord. You're so blessed. This looks so easy even your dog could do it. LOL. Thanks. I'm so grateful to you. I've been looking for doors and hardware to see they're so expensive. Thanks for sharing. I'll be trying this me and God.
I'm building a large bird aviary to breed my lovebirds & sell them as a small side business here in Texas. This barn door tutorial is awesome. I might do the same door except the top half i might replace it with wire mesh. Thanks for tutorial man, God bless! 🙏
Your videos are well made and easy to follow, I just wish you wouldnt post such an inaccurate price in the title. I dont care where you live, you arent doing this project for $40. Having said that, I was able to keep this project under $90. I used tounge and groove boards because the door is being used for a bathroom. The tounge and groove boards ensure that there will never be space in between. They're also cheaper.
Thank you! Finished ours last night and it's awesome! Had a challenge with one of my boards -- didn't realize that it was pretty warped until I started assembling. I had laid them each flat at the store, but didn't think to lay them on the edge to check... rookie mistake, but oh well. Forced them together and got enough screws in to secure it. We used the rolling barn door track from Lowe's and its just awesome!
The wood was around $60 (I opted for the 'common boards', but there were cheaper options), box of screws $8, barn door track/hardware $150, handles $12 (I used a bronze pocket door handle for the inside, gate pull on the outside). I used stain that I already had, and finishing wax instead of poly. So $80 for the door, $230 installed. Plus my new mitre saw: priceless:)
AGREE WITH MRLD921. I spent close to $300 with wood, screws, glue, stain, brushes, and the hardware kit as well. I would say that this video still saves you a lot of money in the long run compared to purchasing a barn door.
my only comment, use pre-stain before staining pine to eliminate a bit of the blutchiness and allow the staining give you a more uniform color. Other than that amazing work!!!
Incredible, I went today to buy the wood and hardware to build this door, this is not a 40$ door no more. 150$ is the new price. Other than that, really helpful video, thousands of vids on UA-cam, definitely this is the best one. Thanks
I'm really enjoying these easy to follow videos. I'd say my only challenge is keeping the costs as low as claimed. Materials are running more expensive where I live because I can't build these doors for under $90 (in wood alone). That's shopping around at various lumber yards, too. That is not a criticism of the videos, just feedback for those running into the same issue.
love this.. just made my first door.. so easy.. so simple.. - did cost me $150 total for the wood, screws, putty, stain and sealer but better than paying $300. Thanks!
Nice work your videos makes this easier for first time DIY’ers. Question, can this door be hung with hinges and fitted with a knob like a traditional door? I’m thinking the side pieces just need to be thicker to house the knob assembly?
Luv your dang videos! They make me feel like I have been overworking myself! Keep it up! Thanks!:-) I already had the screws, stain & urethane. Used reclaimed wood & spent $20! I love this! Can't thank you enough. I used scrap pieces for the benches & did those for $0!:-)))))
I built two of these doors using this video and it was easy and quick. I am a novice and this really surprised me how easy this job was to complete. Don’t be afraid!
I'm going to try this but just going online to Lowe's and just 1 pine board is $11.92 (Eastern White Pine Board (Common: 1-in x 8-in x 8-ft; Actual: 0.75-in x 7.25-in x 8-ft). How could this be a $40 door when just the wood cost over $95? I'm I looking at the wrong wood?
I just looked into building exact same doors, using this plan only difference is I need 2 9ft doors, instead of 1 8 ft. Anyway it worked out to be $130 per door and $300 for hardware. $560 total.
Absolutely, i just did a project and the wood by themselves ended more than $100. Then comes all the hardware, screws----- and the list goes on and on.
Glueing and clamping would make a stronger door. With everything glued together you could get some cracking when the wood dries and shrinks. Making sure the wood is extremely dry before assembly will keep any additional shrinking to a minimum. Another way to prevent moisture related movement is to coat each board with polyurethane or paint before assembly. You would need to coat all sides, edges and ends to seal the wood. If you used tongue and grove boards the wood will still shring but you won't see through the gaps. You will see the tongue. You will see the same thing with shiplap.
I don't make videos because I never learned how to use a camera or editing software. I hope to change that over the next few months. I have been working with wood since 1978 and have built several dozen doors. A quality door is made to allow the wood to move with seasonal changes in humidity.
Yeah I understand the concept of just turning down the volume, but I'm trying to offer creative criticism to make the channel better. After watching 3 or 4 videos in a row from the same channel (which I do quite often), repeating music gets a little annoying regardless of how nice it is to listen to. Production quality and content are great; just maybe change it up a bit sometimes when it comes to the background stuff.
Oh,, my mistake....I did see his request for constructive criticism (read opinions) on how every thinks he could have a better channel if he did it YOUR way!! Keep'em comin..WITH the music.....no pissin and moanin here!!!
Following my comment today, and after seeing the other comments, I realized the fact that you had considered that 8" comes as (7 1/4"). And then all your measurements are true. Fact that I was unfamiliar with it. Thanks and I see no need to answer my comment. You do a great tutorial.
Hey! That looks amazing. Ì love those doors and now know how overpriced they are. Lol. You make it look so easy you should go into business doing these sorts of projects.
Great how to video! Just built my door using your tutorial and the whole process took about an hour! Turned out great! Thanks for taking the time to put that together!
I've just rehabbed 108 year old farm home. I used pickett fencing for floor and ceiling trim and above barn tin wainscoting. I did it myself w a handyman after I was receiving quotes up to 20 k just to trim my house. You need to sand the cedar picket on both sides but the pine picket fencing only needs sanding on one side. Buy at Loews for approx $2 bucks piece. (Common: 1-in x 6-in x 8-ft; Actual: 0.625-in x 5.5-in x 8-ft) Natural Pressure Treated Pine Fence Pickett I have carpenters take pics of what I did and they have know idea I used picket fencing. Price of this door using picket will be under $40
You should get a countersink bit and a plug cutter so you can fill the holes with real wood the same as the project. I always find wood filler to not stain great. Great job though.
Nice idea for a very finished look. But if they had done that, the haters would have really exploded over the cost. Using filler keeps the cost more in line with the video title.
Well, I finished my two 22" barn doors. TotL cost was about $400 (includes hardware) b/c I had to buy new wood. I did a rough sand with 80 grit, oil stain with Ash Grey color, one coat clear oil polyeurithane, quick sand with 120 grit to give a distressed look& knock off the burrs. My husband took a chain & a screw driver to really distress the main planks. I have to put the 2nd coat of polyeurithane on them while assembled since I was on a time schedule to get them out together. Only issue I had was that I was one board short for my cross hatch design on one door. Good thing is I had enough left over wood to make the boards (you can see which ones in the photo)... . Oops, no pboto This really impressed my husband! Every time he would start to give me advice on how to do something, I just said, "nope, I don't need your input on this project please." He absolutely loves the finished project! If anyone knows how I can add a photo please share with me.
I like the project and the resulting door looks great. However, the cheapest 1x8x8 at the lumber yard is 11 bucks. needing 6 of those you have blown your budget and still need 1x4s. more like $100 when you include all of the wood and screws.
It could be a function of my location but I can get solid white oak 2" boards from the local mill for 50 cents/board foot, let them air dry for a year, then run them through a thickness planer. There are also a lot of old warehouses and barns that you can get for next to nothing in exchange for removing them.
This is a great how to video. I find that there are a ton of talented people on UA-cam but most of them are NOT good teachers or their filming is just awful. You guys are great teachers and know how to film. I haven’t seen one UA-camr cut all the material to size and then lay it out on the floor so you can really see it. Thank you so much.
Need two small barn doors to create a bi-fold door for a pantry. Can't find two small enough, so I'm going to dive into this. Thank so much for making it look so easy!
Half way done! Got the doors stained & 1st coat of poly eurithane on today. Hope to sand once more, put another coat of poly on, then put it together tomorrow. Depends on the weather.
I was intrigued by this $40.00 so I looked on home depot and saw the cost of this material list on their website including hardware $307.50 - a similar door from home depot including hardware $329.00 so for an extra $22.00 and a whole lot of my time - pre-built - works -- $40.00, well maybe in dog dollars :-)
thank you, DIYers posting videos claiming such low costs gives people a terrible misconception of what these things actually cost. BTW, they didn'f factor in any of the power tools needed to complete this project.
Very nice. Have you noticed that the people who are leaving negative comments seem to fall into two camps: 1.) Woodworkers who are critical of your construction and 2.) DIYers who think you have priced the materials too low. What you have made is a fine decorative barn door for internal use. If it was used to cover an external opening the seasonal wood movement would rip this apart within a couple years. I suspect that the folks who can't find lumber for less than $100 are shopping in the wrong aisle of the home center. You used construction pine and if they are in the aisle with the hardwood, the pretty clear pine and Aspen the prices will skyrocket.
Built a set of barn doors using your video and they turned out perfectly! I lost my daddy four years ago and he was always so great with woodworking. I used the miter saw he gave me after he built my sons hutch before he was born. He knew that was his last build and I cried when I finished. I know he was proud!
Oh wow, thanks for sharing your story. That is really touching and sweet. I'm sure he would be so proud...
Beautiful story. God bless and BUILD MORE!!

7 years later you're still giving DIY'ers ideas for barn doors. This looks so simple even a hack like me could do it! Thank you!
I'm a visual learner, I loved that I could watch all the steps, it wasn't sped up, the instructions were very clear but simple, it had the list of parts needed. Overall this was just a perfect explanation video. I'll update once I try for myself! Might be awhile 😅

Thanks so much! Good luck with the build!
It's also a really crappy door.
@MAGAMAN why you say it's crappy door??
This video inspired me to make my first ever barn door for a guest bedroom that I’m putting together for my daughter. The only advice I have is when purchasing your wood make sure all your wood is straight as possible so they can lineup. And invest in wood clamps the short ones and the long ones you may need them they helped me out a great deal.
Just copied this plan with some variations. I used high grade pine, made mine 9’ tall, and I needed it to be a bit wider so I Used 7 1x6 boards and didn’t use any 1x8’s. I also used a biscuit joiner on each vertical piece of wood, fearing they might not stay together well with 9’ lengths otherwise. One final thing I did was measured every screw hole so they were symmetrical all over the door. It looks far better to leave the holes instead of woodfill over the top of them. It’s an intentional industrial look. Very simple project, so glad I came across this video.
Made 1 of 2 doors today. 90 mins. Looks great. Thank you. $180.00 per door in materials.
I'm glad I am not crazy....I said all that wood for $40.00???? No way...Then I realized this video is from 7 years ago. LOL!
It's amazing especially compared to how much they charge for these barn doors... in the thousands

Great to hear, thanks for watching!
I searched and searched on how to make a front door for my house and then, alas, I found your video! Now I'm ready to build. Thank you so much!
Just built ours, 8' version tall tho. Works great and we spent a little less than $200 on hardware kit and materials to build. Super happy with outcome. Same (smaller) style door at Lowes was $400.

a million thanks for showing your cuts and filling in your screw holes. Most videos jump around but this was super informative. thanks

Now my house and all my friends houses are littered with all the stuff I’ve built from your videos. Thank you very much, you don’t know how much you have changed my life...
Just made this. It took about 2.5 hours including stain. Great tutorial!!
Do you have a final width for the finished door? Also, what size hardware kit did you get? Would a 6'7" kit work?
good job! one tip : spread the glue, either with a foam brush or your fingers. making sure the whole peice is covered with glue will make your project even more sturdy. it will also help with the aging, screws can move over time but glue is stronger then the wood itself! keep up the great projects!
OMG....I... L ❤ V E...it
Lol...as the youngest daughter of 5 girls...i was my dad's last hope for a son....so he taught me how to use all the power tools...ive always wanted a Barn Door...im an Artist and Photographer...and i like crafting too...and because i can draw i can make just about anything...lol the SKY'S The LIMIT....right ? you did a GOOD JOB 👌...
GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP🔨....
Thanks for providing the list of materials and supplies used. Execellent video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I am a carpenter and every time I do demo and bring it to the commercial dump I and end up filling the bed of my truck with gorgeous reclaimed wood that others tossed. That's how you do these projects for cheap. Your first instinct doesn't have to always be buy new lumber. Reclaimed gives it more character.
Charles spear I've done it since I was a kid and would go to the new construction houses in new neighbourhoods and he use to get so pissed because I'd pick up any piece of wood over 12 inches long as I'm sure I could find a use for it lol. So now damn near 15 years and my own hvac journeyman lic later I take my 7 year old son out with me sometimes and I be damned if he isn't paying me back and taking everything he can find lol..
There was a builder that would throw out in the dumpster enough material to build one house for every two they’d build. In Ohio where it rains a lot, I’d go dive in dumpsters at the developments when we got rained out.
Not everyone is a carpenter or has wood laying around from other projects, that's why this video is a FAT LIE just to get views...
And is better quality from back in the day
Yeah good luck finding reclaimed 8 foot long pieces of 1x8. I don't know where they come up with these low-ball figures but there's no way you're going to even buy the lumber let alone the hardware for under $40.
Nice video, just some advice for anybody else building this. Sand your boards before assembly and save some headache. The tight spots are a pain to sand once its together. Also use no finer than 120 and no coarser than 100 grit sandpaper. Too fine and the stain doesnt take well, too rough and the stain gets to dark and blotchy. Google search "popping the grain" for the best staining techniques for pine, it can be a tricky wood. Last thing, dont set your screws in a straight line, make them random like the knots in the pine. The straights line of holes stands out on lighter stains.
Great looking build! The company I work for would have charged about $5-600 for that door. My only recommendation would be to sand your parts before assembly. It makes the corners look that much nicer, and it's easier instead of trying to shove sand paper or sanding sponges into those tight miter corners.
$5 is not too bad
@@danielpa0415$500 to $600
Used your video on the weekend to make a barndoor. Video was very helpful and easy to follow. Used pine 1x6s and Fir 1x4s. Was about $260.00 (Cdn). And about 8 hrs to build. Thanks!! 👍
I like putting the screws in from the wall side. Makes for much cleaner looking project. You did a great job on your's. I'm currently building 2 6'x7' barn doors as window blinds in our huge family room in our raised ranch. I'll need to do something funky with the upper tracks since I want the doors to overlap once they meet in the center.
My husband passed before he could finish my son's closet. He thought that a friend of ours who did woodworking would make the doors for my son, but he did not offer, even though he knew they needed to be done. So I am going to do this with your technique as it looks pretty cool. Thank you for your post as it will be one project I can say, done. Amen.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hopefully this project can help with your son's closet and things turn out looking great.
I leave my screws exposed for a more rustic look. I like it and I have customer's that prefer it too! Just another idea. Love this demo video!
100%
This video is excellent! While I've built a number of doors like this, you're method could be followed by any person who has never done it before with great results. I like your videos because they're so simple. Good job.
Thanks for watching!
Great easy video for a nice door. Little 2023 update… it’s no longer a 40$ door, more like 150$ lol
Thank you! I was about to google all the supplies cost! I see Facebook Marketplace has some near me for sale for $75 - $100 without hardware which is as low as $27
This was uploaded 8 years ago
The whole process was like butter. The instructions, the labeling, the camera action, the dawg. Nice work! Nice project!!!
That was the best tutorial I've seen on barns doors. I can't wait to get started. 🙌🏼
So in 2015 my fiance who i had been with for 6yrs fell in love with some guy at a stop light. Waisted a masive amount of love time and money. Startred living the single life. All was going well and then i broke my leg and dislocated my shoulder in a basketball ball game. And then a month later i was layed off from my job. Started watching a bit of UA-cam and found Rehab Life. Always wanted to do some wood working. 5 months later i could walk again. Went to H Depot and bought $3K worth of saws power tools etc. Made all kinds of stuff. Some good...some just ok. Here i am 2020...and i find myself watching Rehab Life. You both inpired me to do something I've always wanted to do...thanks and God bless you both.
When I was 21 I had found out that my girlfriend at the time(high school sweetheart) had a 3 way with two guys behind my back..2 days later and I started talking to a girl I knew who i was always in love with but never pursued it...14 years later and 3 kids and I’m still with her...the point is that things happen for a reason
Go to lowes in the section they have furring strips. That's what I used for the trim pieces when I made mine. They are like $1.06 for a 1x4x8... you need about 6 of them. They have cheaper versions of the pine boards you mentioned for about $6 ea. Or you could skip the desperate boards for backing and use T-11 like I did. It's about $20 a sheet. I made 2 doors for about $100... not quite $40 but still very doable and easy and lowes made all the cuts for me at the store. So very easy to assemble. Prices might be higher in your area. This is a great video to make a solid door.
Since you debunked about everything this guy did, I look forward to seeing your video on how to it correctly. Oh, that's right' you don't have one.
braniganblue thanks for commenting on a 3 yr old comment. Must have really had to search for that one. Must be reallllly desperate for something to complain about. I didn’t “debunk” his video, I thought it was great. Another commenter had asked for prices. I replied. I’m sorry it offended you. I try to be a normal, nice and helpful human. Not an dick in the comment section.
Great video!! I love an informative, straight to the point, no blah, blah, blah video!! I will start building MY door tomorrow! 👍👍❤❤👍
Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial. Great job! Whether it actually costs $40 or $140 in materials, it will still be a lot less expensive than buying barn doors.
Plus you have bragging rights.
Two suggestions - instead of wood filler you can use some of the leftover sawdust mixed with wood glue, which will sand down when dry to be almost invisible. The other way is to buy a plug cutter bit for the drill. Cut plugs from a scrap piece of the same timber as your project and hammer them into the holes with a drop of glue underneath, sanding them flush afterwards.
I have used this video to built this door twice. I did end up needing to move the screws further up and cut out a place for the track to run though the middle. For the second one, I will just buy the ones that don't need the track cut out. I also wanted to share the updated pricing. For the lumber, screws (one box) and wood putty, it came out to $78 + tax.
Would you recommend gluing the vertical slats together before framing them in?
Update…. $130 for just the wood. DEC 2023
@@humbledb4jesus I cut and dry fit everything and then gluded and screwed everything together while on the floor.
Thank you so much.
My wife always wanted a barn door for in our kitchen and I'm out of work and tight on money but this worked out great! We couldn't be happier.
Great video, I've built 5 of these so far and they all look great; I've modified the size of the boards when dealing with smaller door opening and still looks great. I've done Weathered Gray stain as well. Thank you Rehab Life.
My latest door is going to be weathered grey. Did you use pine? If so, how well did the stain take and did it get blotchy? Ive seen a couple done and the grey just never looks the best.
I need to modify for a 32” door. Would I simply use one less 1x8 and the rest remains the same?
Just made our barn door. Love it. The tutorial was soo easy to follow. Only cost us £70 GBP complete. Thank you soo much.
Thank you great video! I bought the wood for 43.50 not counting the screws,glue or stains at our local lumber store (not lowes or had).
Thanks for the simple DIY projects. We've used several. I'm old. Ya'll make my back and knees hurt watching you young guys on the floor! Get some horses!! I like when the dog joins in. I used the wood filler on one job but stain didnt look right so next one we used black screws and looked better with the scratches and dings. Keep it up. Great ideas and videos. Thanks again
That Lumber Alone cost more that $40. That being said, This is still a great video and I Appreciate how simple you laid this out for the viewer. Great job !
Agreed. I think carpenters sometimes forget that most folks don't have wood lying around(that's what she said😁😁). Seriously though...super cool video. I just made some outdoor shutters from reclaimed pallet boards(heavy duty ones) and they look fantastic. Cost about 20 bucks total.
This video was made in 2016. The prices of wood rise with all other products. With that said, he figured most people understood how inflation works and that the video was made in 2016.
@@DustanMoore 😆 actually the 1x8x8ft pine board was cheaper 3 years ago. About $2.50 a board cheaper.
@@amorgan5844 Pine was the most expensive (The nice boards)
It was reclaimed wood, that's why it was so cheap to complete the project, otherwise, yes that wood is not cheap
I just completed this project using this exact plan. Door came out great. Only change I would have made is sand/stain before assembling the door and touch up after. I used knotty pine and the project cost me around $200 with the hardware included. I used stain/poly i had left over from an old project.
I just spent 400 for everything. Just common pine boards! Thinking of just buying one done already
use the saw dust, you gathered, and mix with the wood filler to match the wood and stain easier
Awesome tip! 👍
Take the sawdust and mix with glue as a wood filler, use putty knife, make sure there's a slight convex shape from pushing it into hole, let dry, sand smooth with the board - that's how the patchers do it in the lumber mills
A buddy of mine keeps mason jars in his workshop full of various wood dust from different types of wood, especially for this purpose.
I never thought of that! Great idea, Thanks!!!
FYI. This process also works great on wood floors - new or refinished. Mix sawdust with clear premium poly.
Nicely done! To the point and no useless rambling! I will check out more of your videos... first one right here!
Praise The Lord. You're so blessed. This looks so easy even your dog could do it. LOL. Thanks. I'm so grateful to you. I've been looking for doors and hardware to see they're so expensive. Thanks for sharing. I'll be trying this me and God.
Annmarie Cross my friend and I just made one using their process it looks awesome but it costs about 120 where we bought the supplies
Annmamk
I'm building a large bird aviary to breed my lovebirds & sell them as a small side business here in Texas. This barn door tutorial is awesome. I might do the same door except the top half i might replace it with wire mesh. Thanks for tutorial man, God bless! 🙏
Your videos are well made and easy to follow, I just wish you wouldnt post such an inaccurate price in the title.
I dont care where you live, you arent doing this project for $40.
Having said that, I was able to keep this project under $90. I used tounge and groove boards because the door is being used for a bathroom. The tounge and groove boards ensure that there will never be space in between. They're also cheaper.
great idea with the tongue and groove!
At Menards you can get a 8' 1x8 pine board for $5.33 right now. 1x4 is $2.15 so thats about $38.50 for all the wood. It's not that far off sheesh.
@@bobotron50 not far off at all
Thank you! Finished ours last night and it's awesome! Had a challenge with one of my boards -- didn't realize that it was pretty warped until I started assembling. I had laid them each flat at the store, but didn't think to lay them on the edge to check... rookie mistake, but oh well. Forced them together and got enough screws in to secure it. We used the rolling barn door track from Lowe's and its just awesome!
What was your final price tag?
The wood was around $60 (I opted for the 'common boards', but there were cheaper options), box of screws $8, barn door track/hardware $150, handles $12 (I used a bronze pocket door handle for the inside, gate pull on the outside). I used stain that I already had, and finishing wax instead of poly.
So $80 for the door, $230 installed. Plus my new mitre saw: priceless:)
I can't thank you guys enough for making this! So much better than spending $450/door!
Thanks so much for watching!
AGREE WITH MRLD921. I spent close to $300 with wood, screws, glue, stain, brushes, and the hardware kit as well. I would say that this video still saves you a lot of money in the long run compared to purchasing a barn door.
Built my door using this video.Worked out great!! Thank you!
One of the best video tuts I hv personally seen. We immediately discarded any others we been keeping to follow on and will do this instead. Thanks
Sweet!
Abe Lincoln said “If I were to spend 10 hours making a barn door, I would use the first 9 hours to build a workbench”
Underrated lol 😂
Abe Lincoln's wife said, "Before you build that barn door, let's go to a play for date night."
@@dad1432😂
I didn't know how I was going to make a "clean out" door for a coop out of scrap lumber but now I think I can thanks to your video! Bless you!
my only comment, use pre-stain before staining pine to eliminate a bit of the blutchiness and allow the staining give you a more uniform color. Other than that amazing work!!!
or you could use blond shellac and mix it yourself
Built the door today with my son. It was easy and kooks great! Thanks for the great step by step instructions.
That's awesome! Glad you got to do a project with your son, that's some quality time...
Always good to see people's homemade stuff rather than taking easy way out , prob last longer that factory made 🇨🇦 🐻
Incredible, I went today to buy the wood and hardware to build this door, this is not a 40$ door no more. 150$ is the new price.
Other than that, really helpful video, thousands of vids on UA-cam, definitely this is the best one.
Thanks
I'm definitely going to use this for my "she shed" door thanks
HHey y
I'm really enjoying these easy to follow videos. I'd say my only challenge is keeping the costs as low as claimed. Materials are running more expensive where I live because I can't build these doors for under $90 (in wood alone). That's shopping around at various lumber yards, too. That is not a criticism of the videos, just feedback for those running into the same issue.
This $40 barn door cost me over $150 to make today lol. Came out good though.
i was gonna comment something similar lol. with the huge increase in prices on lumber i believe you it will cost over $150 to make now days.
love this.. just made my first door.. so easy.. so simple.. - did cost me $150 total for the wood, screws, putty, stain and sealer but better than paying $300. Thanks!
Nice work your videos makes this easier for first time DIY’ers.
Question, can this door be hung with hinges and fitted with a knob like a traditional door? I’m thinking the side pieces just need to be thicker to house the knob assembly?
Did u ever find out haha
Easy clear steps ....With your channel I feel like I can build anything lol...thanks so much💙💛💙💛💙💛
Thank you!
Luv your dang videos! They make me feel like I have been overworking myself! Keep it up! Thanks!:-) I already had the screws, stain & urethane. Used reclaimed wood & spent $20! I love this! Can't thank you enough. I used scrap pieces for the benches & did those for $0!:-)))))
Awesome, thanks for watching!
I built two of these doors using this video and it was easy and quick. I am a novice and this really surprised me how easy this job was to complete. Don’t be afraid!
I'm going to try this but just going online to Lowe's and just 1 pine board is $11.92 (Eastern White Pine Board (Common: 1-in x 8-in x 8-ft; Actual: 0.75-in x 7.25-in x 8-ft). How could this be a $40 door when just the wood cost over $95? I'm I looking at the wrong wood?
mrLD921 thanks for the research. I was doubting the cost
I just looked into building exact same doors, using this plan only difference is I need 2 9ft doors, instead of 1 8 ft. Anyway it worked out to be $130 per door and $300 for hardware. $560 total.
Absolutely, i just did a project and the wood by themselves ended more than $100. Then comes all the hardware, screws----- and the list goes on and on.
They're doing their audience a disservice by under pricing but that's how they get more views
+Danny M if you spent less money on dungeons and dragons you would have money to spend on diy barn doors lol.
i love how straightforward your videos are. other people put me to sleep with too many details
When the wood dries and shrinks you will be able to see through the gaps. Tongue and groove boards would prevent that.
Would gluing and clamping them first help prevent that?
Glueing and clamping would make a stronger door. With everything glued together you could get some cracking when the wood dries and shrinks. Making sure the wood is extremely dry before assembly will keep any additional shrinking to a minimum. Another way to prevent moisture related movement is to coat each board with polyurethane or paint before assembly. You would need to coat all sides, edges and ends to seal the wood. If you used tongue and grove boards the wood will still shring but you won't see through the gaps. You will see the tongue. You will see the same thing with shiplap.
Oh ok, thanks for the info :)
I don't make videos because I never learned how to use a camera or editing software. I hope to change that over the next few months. I have been working with wood since 1978 and have built several dozen doors. A quality door is made to allow the wood to move with seasonal changes in humidity.
that's actually a good point about the tongue and groove. especially with this type of wood.
I have scrap knotty pine from room remodel I was trying to sell. Now I have another use for it . Great simple Video!Can't wait to get started
Awesome, that should be perfect!
love the simplicity of the projects, but the music gets very annoying after the 4th video
+Philip Carter I'm inclined to agree. Maybe using it as an intro or theme song, but each video should probably have different music.
I just turn the sound down
it has a peaceful tone....I enjoy it.....Jason has your ticket....turn down the volume.....
Yeah I understand the concept of just turning down the volume, but I'm trying to offer creative criticism to make the channel better. After watching 3 or 4 videos in a row from the same channel (which I do quite often), repeating music gets a little annoying regardless of how nice it is to listen to. Production quality and content are great; just maybe change it up a bit sometimes when it comes to the background stuff.
Oh,, my mistake....I did see his request for constructive criticism (read opinions) on how every thinks he could have a better channel if he did it YOUR way!! Keep'em comin..WITH the music.....no pissin and moanin here!!!
Following my comment today, and after seeing the other comments, I realized the fact that you had considered that 8" comes as (7 1/4"). And then all your measurements are true. Fact that I was unfamiliar with it. Thanks and I see no need to answer my comment. You do a great tutorial.
Good luck with the build!
Hey! That looks amazing. Ì love those doors and now know how overpriced they are. Lol.
You make it look so easy you should go into business doing these sorts of projects.
Thanks for watching!
Great how to video! Just built my door using your tutorial and the whole process took about an hour! Turned out great! Thanks for taking the time to put that together!
Currently awaiting my barn kit with the intention to make my own door, and THIS? Is it!! 👍🏾 Quick simple and I can put my son to work on stain.
If it's supposed to be a barn door why don't you show how to install the hardware and hang it on the track?
Will Dwyer well, maybe he’s planning on using hinges...that’s what I’m doing...😊
Paul McCarthy , how did you do it with hinges?
I've just rehabbed 108 year old farm home. I used pickett fencing for floor and ceiling trim and above barn tin wainscoting. I did it myself w a handyman after I was receiving quotes up to 20 k just to trim my house.
You need to sand the cedar picket on both sides but the pine picket fencing only needs sanding on one side.
Buy at Loews for approx $2 bucks piece. (Common: 1-in x 6-in x 8-ft; Actual: 0.625-in x 5.5-in x 8-ft) Natural Pressure Treated Pine Fence Pickett
I have carpenters take pics of what I did and they have know idea I used picket fencing. Price of this door using picket will be under $40
Hermoso !!! un gran trabajo , Felicitaciones desde Argentina
Dude....thanks for the tutorial. I just finished my pantry, and will now complete it by making 2 of these doors.
Great tutorial!! 😍 I love how the door came out! ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I love your soundtrack music. No words just very relaxing. The music stuck in my head all day.
What's the name of the song.?
Great video. We just took down our dining room /kitchen wall to open it up. I just built 2 of these thanks to your video. Thank you
You should get a countersink bit and a plug cutter so you can fill the holes with real wood the same as the project. I always find wood filler to not stain great. Great job though.
Forstner bit. A countersink bit drills a conical hole.
Yes small forstner sorry wrong word. Or honestly even just a drill bit the size of the plug
Side note, I have used the saw dust from the cuts mixed with a little glue and it matches pretty good if you didn't want to by the plugs.
Jason Becker lol then hed have to figure out how to use plug cutters too....dont overload the apprentice brain.
Nice idea for a very finished look. But if they had done that, the haters would have really exploded over the cost. Using filler keeps the cost more in line with the video title.
Appreciate this video. I was able to build, stain, and install the door within 2 days. Door came out great. Thanks for the help!!
Glad it helped!
omg this is extremely cool, I been looking for barn doors and there so expensive, but this here is boom. thanks i so appreciate you sharing this.
Followed material list cost me $78.50 from scratch
Wood was $42.00, my next door will cost me $42.00
Great Video!!!!!! saved me $287 on 3 doors.
I am going to try this project in my rec room. I think you just saved me like $650? or something like that? Thank you!
Haha awesome, thanks for watching!
Well, I finished my two 22" barn doors. TotL cost was about $400 (includes hardware) b/c I had to buy new wood.
I did a rough sand with 80 grit, oil stain with Ash Grey color, one coat clear oil polyeurithane, quick sand with 120 grit to give a distressed look& knock off the burrs. My husband took a chain & a screw driver to really distress the main planks.
I have to put the 2nd coat of polyeurithane on them while assembled since I was on a time schedule to get them out together.
Only issue I had was that I was one board short for my cross hatch design on one door. Good thing is I had enough left over wood to make the boards (you can see which ones in the photo)... . Oops, no pboto
This really impressed my husband! Every time he would start to give me advice on how to do something, I just said, "nope, I don't need your input on this project please." He absolutely loves the finished project!
If anyone knows how I can add a photo please share with me.
I like the project and the resulting door looks great. However, the cheapest 1x8x8 at the lumber yard is 11 bucks. needing 6 of those you have blown your budget and still need 1x4s. more like $100 when you include all of the wood and screws.

It could be a function of my location but I can get solid white oak 2" boards from the local mill for 50 cents/board foot, let them air dry for a year, then run them through a thickness planer. There are also a lot of old warehouses and barns that you can get for next to nothing in exchange for removing them.
Dave Fairbrother
Sucks to shop where you shop! 1x8 should not be $11, you're getting ripped off!
RobsVette01 one of the local yards here in Knoxville charge $17 and it's for a 12. He's not getting ripped off its just his location.
This is a great how to video. I find that there are a ton of talented people on UA-cam but most of them are NOT good teachers or their filming is just awful. You guys are great teachers and know how to film. I haven’t seen one UA-camr cut all the material to size and then lay it out on the floor so you can really see it. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
got ours finished and hung. $200.00. Shopped around for cheapest everything and this was cheapest. Good project but the title is not appropriate.
Joshua Schwartz says barn door not application
Title is appropriate, your overpriced lumber is a shame, but that's not this guys problem.
I resourced my lumber from a local sawmill and got the wood for 15$. Too bad you didn't think that far through.
Joshua Schwartz did you use pine wood?may still cost a little more , but not much .
I didn't realize the title had "hanging" part of the price. Oh wait, it doesn't.
Need two small barn doors to create a bi-fold door for a pantry. Can't find two small enough, so I'm going to dive into this. Thank so much for making it look so easy!
Sounds great!
Half way done! Got the doors stained & 1st coat of poly eurithane on today. Hope to sand once more, put another coat of poly on, then put it together tomorrow. Depends on the weather.
I was intrigued by this $40.00 so I looked on home depot and saw the cost of this material list on their website including hardware $307.50 - a similar door from home depot including hardware $329.00 so for an extra $22.00 and a whole lot of my time - pre-built - works -- $40.00, well maybe in dog dollars :-)
thank you, DIYers posting videos claiming such low costs gives people a terrible misconception of what these things actually cost. BTW, they didn'f factor in any of the power tools needed to complete this project.
This video was also posted 5 years ago… pre-covid. 😂
Yes very much inaccurate on the price
Lumber has gone up significantly since 4 years ago.
Finished the door. Aside from the price being way off, the directions were easy and the results were perfect! Thanks
Step 4: use that leftover wood filler to patch up the living room floor after drilling through it.
Very nice. Have you noticed that the people who are leaving negative comments seem to fall into two camps: 1.) Woodworkers who are critical of your construction and 2.) DIYers who think you have priced the materials too low. What you have made is a fine decorative barn door for internal use. If it was used to cover an external opening the seasonal wood movement would rip this apart within a couple years. I suspect that the folks who can't find lumber for less than $100 are shopping in the wrong aisle of the home center. You used construction pine and if they are in the aisle with the hardwood, the pretty clear pine and Aspen the prices will skyrocket.
