Add structural support for your barn door with our sliding barn door support header.
This support header is fully customizable with different colors finishes.
But i don t find that it looks odd i like it in both spaces.
Some good examples are available.
Barn doors can be heavy up to 200 pounds or more so for sturdiness most people mount the track to a header attached to the wall studs above the doorway.
It should be tall enough so that when it s hung on the track there is about 1 2 inch of space between the bottom of the door and the floor.
A 2 x 6 cut twice as long as your track should do the trick.
Picking and installing your barn door header rustica has the option of customizing your header to match perfectly with your barn door and wall.
Once the header is installed to the drywall the track can be firmly added to the header.
The barn door should be wide enough to completely cover the doorway with an inch or two of overhang on both sides and about one inch at the top.
Thanks for stopping by.
The instructions usually do a good job of helping with the specific measurements since barn door hardware can vary.
