[shaqqi]

Hi All

This can be my first DIY Bunning project. 

I would like to make a wooden stain type barn door. Size of opening is width 980 mm width and height 2120 mm

Plz suggest what shall be the ideal width and height I shall go for and what material I shall get from bunnings . Thanks

Hello @shaqqi 

I suggest using 240grit sandpaper to prevent sanding too deeply into the timber surface.
