Which is great if you re only ever going to have your door closed.
Interior barn door header board.
The hardware kit does not come with the supplies you will need to install a header board so you will have to get the piece of wood and interior screws separately.
It will help create a gap between the door and frame.
Sliding barn door support header header height 6 header thickness 3 4 for the most up to date lead times and shipping info on this product click here.
There should be one inch of space between the barn door and the wall frame.
To secure the track to the wall and add support for the heavy barn door cut a 1 x 4 mounting board the same length as but a little wider than the track.
Use a color that matches the door or the trim in your home.
It is advised not to install the track directly into the drywall so we first needed to install a header board above our door opening.
Without the addition of this header board the door track would only have hit something called a header inside the wall which is basically two 2x4s stacked on top of each other in a couple of places over the doorway.
Use the drywall anchors spacers and lag bolts to secure the mounting board.
