Sliding barn door

Sliding barn door

When we purchased our home, we could not fit our new lounges through any of the doors. So hubby cut through a wall, (as you do 😜) to gain internal access from the garage. Of course we then thought ‘why not keep the entrance permanent & create a quirky sliding barn door into our home’ so we did 🙌

 

I will include before & after pics & the materials used from Bunnings
