For logistical reasons, we want to change out a traditional door for a barn door, but the size is a bit odd. The interior of the frame is 36'' x 80ish'', but the trim takes it to 42.5'' x 84'' (approx.), and due to the lack of space on either side of the door, we'll probably need a double door.
The closest sized double barn doors I've seen at Lowes and Home Depot are 42'' x 84''. The next two sizes are 48'' x 80'' [too short] and 60'' x 84'' [wider than we'd like]. This leads me to believe we're probably going to need to get a little creative. So far we've come up with two possible solutions:
- Use two 24'' x 84'' barn doors to make our own double door. The hold up here is the price. The best I can figure, using two separate doors is going to basically double our cost, even though doors sold as double doors aren't really any more expensive. Ew.
- Build our own door. We're fairly handy, so it's not a huge deal breaker. We just aren't completely sure where to start. I would assume we buy a barn door hardware kit or the components of it (we'll cross that bridge if we need to) and then build our own door [slab doors are apparently only available in 80'' or 96'']. I just don't know if there's a "best" material or blueprint for one. The door is for a laundry room, if that makes any difference to you.
I'm hoping someone has had a similar experience or has some advice they'd like to share. Honestly anything from where to buy pair of cheap doors to tips on building your own door would be appreciated. Thanks!!
