Once the header is installed to the drywall the track can be firmly added to the header.
Header barn door.
To determine the height to mount the header you can attach the hardware to the door and prop the door off the ground.
Some good examples are available.
As i mentioned in my post it was necessary since the predrilled holes in barn door hardware don t line up with studs.
It should be tall enough so that when it s hung on the track there is about 1 2 inch of space between the bottom of the door and the floor.
The header reinforces the drywall making it strong enough for your barn door.
Barn doors can be heavy up to 200 pounds or more so for sturdiness most people mount the track to a header attached to the wall studs above the doorway.
But i don t find that it looks odd i like it in both spaces.
This support header is fully customizable with different colors finishes.
The instructions usually do a good job of helping with the specific measurements since barn door hardware can vary.
