Do you want everything delivered to your door to install a rustic sliding barn door? I mean, including the door panel, sliding track kit and industrial metal handle?
Basically, you get an authentic-looking farmhouse door along with all the vintage-looking black metal hardware you need for installation. I like ready-to-install packages like this.
Amazon has an affordable door kit you can buy, or you can get one at Home Depot for under $400.
Barn Door Requires Assembly…
However, the plank door does not come pre-assembled. You will, in fact, need to put it together yourself.
That said, many DIYers don’t mind this step, since they plan on hanging the door themselves anyway. And mounting holes come already pre-drilled. Plus, they don’t have to hassle with picking up the door and getting it home.
Not to mention, this sliding barn door panel really has a custom look to it. To buy a solid wood door with this vintage farmhouse style would certainly cost you much more (even without free delivery!).
How This Rustic Farmhouse Door Compares to Other Barn Doors:
I mean, check out this similar barn door kit from Home Depot. It costs about twice the price, even without the handle.
The more expensive version is constructed of knotty alder vs pine/waterproof MDF exterior on the cheaper door. It also has a darker stain. Besides that, both doors have the same dimensions and both include a sliding track kit.
More Ways to Save Money on this Barn Door Kit:
And at the cheaper price, you can afford to switch out the generic handle to a more custom-looking decorative pull. Give your sliding door a unique look and still save money!
The 36″ width of these panels fits standard interior doorways. Therefore, you can install these on bedrooms, bathrooms, a pantry, laundry room and even some closets.
For added privacy and/or security, simply add a locking system. You can find a few good ones for under $20 that work well for bedrooms or bathrooms.
