Hi, Nice video, I enjoyed. Can you tell me what size pressure treated board you used to mount the Box rail and size construction screws? You used.

[@LancoAmish]

It’s a 5/4” deck board. Thanks for watching.

[@deborahdelacruz4136]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I have been searching and searching, this is perfect 😁

[@LancoAmish]

Thank you for watching. I’m glad the video could be of help!

I have a 24 foot building and want to put a 12 foot wide and 10 foot high opening for a slidiinig door. The doors would be about 6 foot wide would this method work or would you do your swing open doors?

[@RACOONLOVERFOREVER]

The end caps are for the end of the track to stop the rollers from being pushed through the openings at the end of the rail. I think the company expects everyone to know to drill your own self tappers through the end caps into the rail. Our end cap had a pre drilled hole in it but that hole didn't work and we had to drill our own. Otherwise they look useless without holes drilled in .

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks! They look completely different than the ones in the pics on line and they are flimsy like tin foil! Thanks for watching. Have a great evening.

[@yshuaizlord]

Thank you. This is just what I needed.

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. I really appreciate your time.

@@LancoAmish So, I see one glaring mistake on my project. I didn't take into account the size of my lumber. I wound up using 5/4", and with three layers across the top i wound up with a door that is 3-3/4". If it were plained it would have only been 2-1/4". I resolved to put the trolley to the inside of the door since building the rail out any more appears to be less stable. Ah, well. Rookie mistake. Thanks for your vids.

[@LancoAmish]

@@yshuaizlord , you figured out a way to make it work and that’s the end game!

@11.45 what size Brad Nailer ? 16G or 18G how Long the Brad Nails ? Good Video

[@brentholaway9114]

Nice to see Massey Ferguson.

[@philip48230]

I had to attach the brackets to a 2x4 and been spread them 1/8 inch. Then I had to mill file the burs off and get a wider tolerance to get it to slide smoothly over the glide bar

[@LancoAmish]

They do need adjustment for certain situations. I was able to get away with the 1 inch deck board. That thickness made for a pretty tight fitting door into my door closures.

[@dmcory4283]

great video

[@hermanbryant3082]

Did I miss the roof video somewhere?

[@MrScott329]

Can you tell me where you got the kit from. I am trying to buy a kit for my shop. Thanks.

[@LancoAmish]

Zoro.com. “Hanging barn door hardware”. I think I purchased 2 parts. The hanging hardware as one and the tracks as the other. I went with 2-6 footers as the shipping was much cheaper than 1 - 12 footer.

[@lindaparsons5125]

Do you a list of material you used for barn doors I want a set on end of our house n measurements

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. Materials will vary depending on the size of doors. 2 by lumber for the cross pieces and boards for the doors themselves. The hinges are Gate strap hinges but other types can be used also.

[@SeanGriffinthemusicalchef]

Did you put glue on the tongue and groove?

[@LancoAmish]

No, just the cross pieces.

[@peterbarlow8912]

Having horizontal members outside overlaying the vertical boards will cause rot sooner than later. I put all my framing (2x’s) on back and have a flat face of tongue and groove vertical boards.

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. I like the look with the bracing on the outside. I understand your viewpoint though.

[@airecraft1]

Nice work.

[@nikkiyothers3944]

These videos are great BUT no one shows exactly how to mount the rails to put the door on!!!!

[@philip48230]

Drill a hole and use a metal screw to hod it in place for end caps

[@zodszoo]

How's it holding up?

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. I’m very pleased with the doors. I had a metal track cover formed at a local roofing company to keep the weather off the track. So far so good.

[@robynnorris-b4e]

What size kit?

[@LancoAmish]

The rollers and associated hardware come as a kit. Will work for any sized door. The track comes in different lengths for the job. I went with 2 pieces and butted them against each other. Longer lengths require more expensive shipping.

[@marknielsen389]

What was the name of barn door hardware supplier?

[@LancoAmish]

I purchased it through Zoro.com.

[@marknielsen389]

@@LancoAmish Thank you kindly

[@nebraskamalt6949]

If granger is American made, I’d probably go that way.

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

The instructions on the hangers leave much to be desired.

[@lfac1111]

Hi you know part number?

[@LancoAmish]

I’m not sure. Zoro sells the whole kit on line. Here’s the hardware and then the track. I bought the 12 foot in 2 6 foot lengths as it can be shipped much cheaper. Zoro #: G3258071 Mfr #: 4PE60 Zoro #: G1861002 Mfr #: 4PE55

[@leesommer5871]

Too many screws

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. Can there ever be too many? 🙂

[@leesommer5871]

@@LancoAmish yes.
