Building a sliding shop door. Components and installation ideas and tips.

Hardware and components needed to build a sliding or rolling shop or barn door. This was build with 2 goals: Cheap, and light weight.
The bottom requires a fold. Grade prevents a full door from sliding , and removing 18 inches of soil is bad for a pole barn.
A flashing should go up to prevent the box channel from filling up with pine needles.
Simple and cheap solutions.
2 - 12 foot box channel. $75 ea
4 rollers, $20 ea
8 hangers, $4 ea
5 - 8 foot by 3 foot metal siding. $38 ea
7 - 12 foot 2x4 @ $9 ea
Used hinges
Screws
$7 pulley

Great job! As I was watching you guys install the door I'm like man only thing they need is a way to hold the flap up, then next thing I know I see you pull the cable to flip it up and hold it haha. I'll def be building one very similar for my garage! Thank you!

I dig the vent flap for the cool lower air while still keeping the sun from beating down on ya, nice idea 👌

Coastal farm and ranch had them. Home Depot didn't have them, nor ever heard of them! They only had interior closet barn doors.

[@nebraskamalt6949]

I’ve seen nylon or plastic rollers that seem like a good idea - wondering if the steel rollers are required for a heavier door.

[@gorgeoutdoors]

Many of the plastic style are for interior barn doors, like closet doors.

Of course it had to rain
