Sliding barn doors have taken off recently and become a popular option in home design. They can transform the typical entry door look, make for ease of use, be fully customizable and are surprisingly easy to DIY if you purchase the sliding door hardware kits.

Instagram content creator and DIY home renovation-est @realliferenovation posted a video to her page showing how she DIYed a barn door that has a super cute and minimal slatted pattern to it. Her DIY was quite simple and the results are seamless. Check it out!

When someone refers to the term ”builder-grade” they are referencing the technique used on their built house, typically the style seen in larger housing developments and commonly built contractor houses. They are often made using the cheapest and most bare bones and basic materials, with features that are “just enough” like small tub/shower combos, basic bedroom closets, and boring wood doors..

A builder grade door is just what you think it is… a blank piece of flattened wood; lacking character, charm, and aesthetics. Buying a custom door is expensive and building one is hard. This is why we are stoked on this woman’s custom built barn door.

She used a large piece of plywood and framed it out with wood around the outside and added on to the middel for support. She cut a bunch of smaller sections of wood and secured them onto the door making the slatted look. The woman finished it off with a coat of paint and attached the sliding barn door hardwear to the top.
