Amazon Is Selling a DIY Sliding Barn Door Kit for Just $60
If you haven't given your home the shiplap treatment, can you really call yourself a true Fixer Upper fan? We kid, we kid. Although Chip and Joanna's Fixer Upper days are over, there's no reason why yours should be. But if you don't want to invest in a wall's worth of shiplap - we get it - the easiest way to give your home the Waco look is with floor-to-ceiling barn doors.
That's why Amazon shoppers can't get enough of this DIY sliding barn door hardware kit. At just a fraction of the price of the rustic doors you see all over HGTV, these do-it-all-kits, which come in black to give it the industrial look, secure five, six, eight, 10, and 13-foot doors.
Each kit, which ranges from $60 - $170, comes with:
a long rail (or two, if you're installing a double door)
rail hardware
2 hangers
2 door stoppers
floor guide
So, as you see, the door isn't included, but you can use the ones you already have! After removing the existing doors from your frame, this kit, along with the informational video on Amazon, takes you step-by-step until your single or double door slides right into place. (And if you lose a few screws and hangers in the installation process, you can buy separate sets for $23 and up.)
If you don't want to take our word for it, listen to 600+ Amazon reviewers who can't stop raving about their new accent piece. Even 84% of reviewers gave the door a glowing five-star rating. "This was my first barn door install and everything worked perfectly. I even installed another one a week after," wrote one reviewer. Okay, but is it really high quality at such a low price? Reviewers say yes. "The price is low compared to other manufacturers, but don't be scared because there's nothing cheap about it," another raves.
If you're questioning the practicality of these massive, heavy duty doors, then here's some good news: While it's definitely a two-man job to install, once the door is attached to the heavy duty rails, it slides like a charm. In fact, one reviewer writes that you can "just touch the edge of the door and it'll slide." And if you hate how often your kids accidentally slam doors in your house, then listen up: These doors roll so quietly that you can't even hear 'em, according to reviewers. That means they really are a great way to make your farmhouse dreams a reality, huh?
