How can I add doors to a large closet?

by Shari S

Our bedroom closet is very long and the original 2 paneling doors fell off years ago. I need suggestions on how to replace the doors perhaps using the same door glides or just removing them. Out water heater sits in one end and uses 28" of the space. The total length of the closet is 95 1/2" (including the water heater). I need something to block the dust and sun from ruining my clothes.

    I'm not sure how long this closet it (part broom, part coats) but the whole opening is closed off with these doors which are either hinged to the frames or to each other. It works fine.

    Check with a l ocal buidling store like The Home Depot for what they have. If you know or can find someone handy they can make a set of doors or re-attach the old ones. I have done it a lot myself but I am not sure what the condition is of the old doors.

    You can make some barn doors for the closet or hang curtains. Here are posts to give you ideas:
