Barn-style sliding doors are a cost-effective and easy way to transform spaces and add character to your home.
Open it up: Sliding doors are ideal transition pieces, connecting rooms together with a natural fluidity, opening up your floorplan. In addition, an exterior sliding door can help open up your living spaces to outdoor entertaining areas.
Instant office-maker: Need a home office? A sliding door can create a cosy, private space where there wasn’t one before.
Problem-solver: If your home has an awkward angle or exposed kitchen pantry, a sliding door is an efficient and elegant solution.
Space-savers: Because they operate without a hinge and glide along a track, you don’t need extra space for a door arc. All that barn-style sliding doors require is adequate wall space to slide over when opened, and they come in a wide range of shapes and styles, from single panels to four-door options for larger openings.
It is easy to D.I.Y. install the door tracks for barn-style sliding doors at home. All you need is a door track kit and a few simple tools and materials.
Tip: Make sure the door you’re hanging weighs less than 80kg. Doors weighing more than 80kg might damage the door frame or room.
Barn-style sliding doors are still available in rustic homestead styles, but they have also evolved to suit most architectural and design preferences, from Scandi to Coastal, Minimalist to Hollywood Glam. You can further customise them with stylish accessories and hardware to make the look completely your own.
Sliding doors also come in a wide variety of sizes, with pre-finished and ready to hang options available.
Check out our wide range of barn-style sliding doors.

Workshop member Rylie used Silver Top timber to build these eye-catching 2m-wide doors and found hanging the door tracks was not difficult.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
