How To Construct A Sliding Barn Door Leisure Centre: The Process
Move 1) Build The Body
The frames are rather self-explanatory but I have incorporated a finished photograph as well as a in depth diagram. I made 3 individual consoles so that is why you see 6 of these frames.
Move two) Add The Sides
Attach the 3/4″ plywood by initially applying a bead of wood glue all over the edge of the plywood and secure employing two 1/2″ screws. Repeat with every part.
Move 3) Attach to the wall.
I apologize but I forgot to choose a photograph of the frame put in ahead of deal with frame, cabinets and cleats were put in but I have incorporated a diagram beneath to give you the measurements.
I put in tongue and groove car or truck-siding for texture which demonstrates by means of the open back again side. Another excellent notion would be to paint a contrasting paint colour or add a enjoyment wallpaper on the wall behind the console.
Move 4) Add The Face Body
Move five) Add cleats and cabinets
Move 6) Add top boards.
Don’t connect at this issue due to the fact it will make it additional complicated to paint or stain them.
Move seven) Stain or paint frame and top
Body and doors: Sherwin Williams SW Iron Ore (identical colour that Cassity made use of in this article!)

Move eight) Make Doorways
You could also make standard shaker cupboard doors adhering to this tutorial in this article.
Rip plywood to 20″ x 30″ panels (or size of opening). With nail gun, connect the two 30″ trim boards to the plywood panel.
Double test your measurement and slice the remaining trim boards to finish the doorway panel. Attach with nail gun.
To create the diagonal structure shown on my enjoyment centre, your board will be 29 1/4″ extensive from corner to corner with an angle of 28 degrees. Again, connect with nail gun.
Stain or paint doors (or both of those!). I painted mine Sherwin Williams Iron Ore to match the frame. (This is the identical colour Cassity painted her inside doors and colorwashed her barn doorway in this article to add colour while continue to exhibiting the wood grain.)
Move 9) Hang Doorways
I adopted the recommendations incorporated with my sliding doorway components. See our Remodelaholic picks for finances-helpful sliding doorway components in this article.
Move ten) Attach top boards to the frame
That is it! Not much too poor for an whole sliding barn doorway enjoyment centre, suitable? Now it is time for the enjoyment part…the components.
I chose chunky baskets, old trunks and metal containers to decorate our guy cave opening shelving. They add added storage while keeping a masculine experience.

I am so satisfied with the way my sliding barn doorway enjoyment centre turned out. All of the activity systems and cable bins are hidden guiding the barn doors when not in use, but the doors effortlessly slide open to give accessibility when wanted. The added storage is fantastic for all of the PS4/XBox games and our DVDs and I even have a basket for remote controls. Life is very good for all of us!
