Glad it’s helpful! 😁

We really appreciate your support through these years! And by the way, We use that nail puller on a regular basis! In fact, when Sean did the repair on that barn door, he used your nail puller to peel the nail plates off the frame. Worked like a charm!

I agree completely! (BTW, it’s the wife replying!😂😂😂)

Ten more thumbs up ( great channel fun to watch )

Wood + Measuring tape + saw + hardware = door

We’ll said😀

Para um piloto de teste fazer este tipo de coisas é muito simples

I’m not sure if you can tell in the video, but there is a nice overhang before the facia board. The doors simply slide right under the eaves. It was all intentionally sized that way, so it fits with no problem.

@@ADifferentWay I meant the metal trim that is designed to go over the track? Or did you not install it because you have an eve?

Oh! We haven’t actually installed ours yet, just due to time and budget constraints. That said, the brackets that connect the track to the wall are designed to attach the cover directly to. So the cover is attached to the brackets, not to the track itself. This keeps it off the track enough that there is no issue with the doors. Hopefully that makes sense.

The tracks and hardware came from the Cannonball company. While they do have an online store, their sales are typically done through a dealer, which is how we ordered originally.

We actually got them special ordered through our local building supply store, but the brand is cannonball.

@@ADifferentWay no wonder I can't find such design in Europe. Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

We purchased it through a local builders supply, but the brand is Cannonball. Hope that helps!

We’ve decided to move those latches to the inside of the barn and lock the man door. if nothing else, it will make it harder for a thief to break in.

They are made by the Cannonball company.

Yes, this was due to slight warping of the boards. We later purchased a center guide that mounted on the ground, more to control winds blowing the doors than anything. However, the guide actually allowed the doors to sit in it, which helped pull the wood into place. Granted the crooked door is a bit stiff to pull into place, but hopefully the wood will dry straighter and loosen up a bit with time. It looks normal though. www.menards.com/main/building-materials/pole-barn-post-frame-materials/pole-barn-post-frame-hardware/wood-door-center-guide/1556207/p-1444448480286-c-5718.htm

I’m afraid I have no experience with hemlock, so you would have to research that. What we found however, is that different woods stand up to weather and exterior conditions better than others. So I would not say that people just use any wood necessarily, but there are different woods for the conditions in that area. So research hemlock in your area, see if it stands up to the elements and weather conditions, and go from there. Once you’ve determined that, as far as the warping goes, we found the amount of drying time affects it, and the way you actually assemble the door will definitely affect it. You have to make sure the grain is turned properly and braced against the frame for support from future warping. Hope that helps

Your right. Spade bit first would have been easier.

Yes, although we didn’t have it installed for this video, we installed a roller guide on the outside/bottom of each door and a center guide on the ground in the middle, where the closed doors meet. Although these work fine alone, we also installed a latch on the doors themselves. We have extremely strong winds at times, and have had absolutely no issues.

@ADifferentWay Thanks! I'll Google this to see what I need.

We used Cannonball. We just found it through our local builders supply.

We used primarily tulip wood (yellow poplar), though the door frame is oak.

We didn’t use anything from Amazonnon this build. The track hardware was purchased from the Cannonball company.

We used 7.5 inch boards. No particular reason other than we knew we had enough logs to meet that size😁

Appreciated. I will be using this exact same build

😁

It’s by cannonball. We purchased it through our local builders supply warehouse.

@@ADifferentWayhello, just wondering what specific track type you got from the connonball company and maybe some more details of what you used?

If I recall correctly, they really only offer two options… The square track and the round, self cleaning version. We chose the self cleaning as our last farm had square, and it was always clogging. It was a pain to maintain! Once you select the style track, you prefer, you simply get the items such as the trolleys and door stops that are designed for that track. We pretty much stuck with the bare basics. I remember calling the customer service at one point, and they were extremely helpful to make sure I got all the right supplies.
