How to make a barn door using plywood?

Hello Kim,

Make your Frame and Stretch canvas on top first. Fix battens to the barn door

so as to be able to rest top and bottom and side battens within the Canvas framework. To secure use a timer trim to your taste. Hope that helps.

Cut the 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick plywood to the size you require. Purchase the brackets for the top at your local hardware store. You will also need the track double the length of the door opening so it can slide over to open. Purchase a small wheel apparatus for the bottom corner of the door and a special stopper for the door to slide through with the wheel. Cover the door with whatever you have in mind or paint or stain it. If you decide to paint, use the good one side plywood so that you get a nice finish. You can add a moulding to the outside sides and bottom.
