How To Create A Sliding Barn Door Amusement Middle:  The Process

Action one)  Build The Body

The frames are very self-explanatory but I have incorporated a finished image as well as a in-depth diagram.  I built three individual consoles so that is why you see  6 of these frames.

Attach the three/4″ plywood by very first implementing a bead of wood glue all around the edge of the plywood and safe applying two one/2″ screws.  Repeat with each and every portion.

Action four)  Add The Encounter Body

Action seven)  Stain or paint body and leading

Body and doorways:  Sherwin Williams SW Iron Ore (similar color that Cassity applied here!)

Prime (Pine):  Custom Minwax stain color blend of  50/fifty Basic Gray/Jacobean

Action eight)  Make Doors

You could also make regular shaker cabinet doorways pursuing this tutorial here. 

Rip plywood to 20″ x 30″ panels (or dimensions of opening).  With nail gun, connect the two 30″ trim boards to the plywood panel.

Double verify your measurement and slice the remaining trim boards to finish the door panel.  Attach with nail gun.

To develop the diagonal structure displayed on my enjoyment middle, your board will be 29 one/4″ extensive from corner to corner with an angle of 28 degrees.  Again, connect with nail gun.

Stain or paint doorways (or equally!).  I painted mine Sherwin Williams Iron Ore to match the body. (This is the similar color Cassity painted her inside doorways and colorwashed her barn door here to include color although nevertheless exhibiting the wood grain.)

Action nine)  Hang Doors

I followed the guidelines incorporated with my sliding door hardware. See our Remodelaholic picks for finances-pleasant sliding door hardware here.

That is it!  Not far too poor for an total sliding barn door enjoyment middle, correct?  Now it is time for the enjoyable part…the equipment.

I selected chunky baskets, aged trunks and metal containers to accessorize our gentleman cave opening shelving.  They include further storage although holding a masculine come to feel.

I am so joyful with the way my sliding barn door enjoyment middle turned out.  All of the game devices and cable bins are hidden driving the barn doorways when not in use, but the doorways quickly slide open to give access when essential.  The further storage is great for all of the PS4/XBox video games and our DVDs and I even have a basket for distant controls. Everyday living is great for all of us!
