okay so everything's stained this is the hardware that i got i have to match these sliders hardware on top and then once i do that i could put up the uh the backer board or whatever you want to call it because we can't just attach the rail to the drywall it'll bend it'll squeeze it's not safe you got to put like a backer piece and then put the railing on that [Music] very important the spacing here make sure you can lift your tape or your door up and get it in place one time i've installed there we are one time i've installed these this hardware in a way where it was so tight that you couldn't slide it on this way so it was forced to feed it through the side so the very first time i've ever installed sliding barn doors uh there's a piece in the kit that i didn't install and that's this bottom slide and what this is for is when the door goes hangs on the rails the bottom can still swing which is actually really dangerous because kits can push it and the thing could possibly fall off you can create a channel right in the middle of the door for this thing to slide as a rail to keep it from moving side to side all right so we're going to get a few coats of clear coat on this so i'm using a poly acrylic right here from minwax it's a satin couple of coats i'll dry flip her over do it again and then i think we'll be ready to start [Music] okay so we're gonna start hanging up the railing part it's a three piece which i've never done before it looks pretty simple it connects uh through a little bracket up front we'll see how strong it is for these heavy doors but uh we got these lag bolts that we marked out exactly the studs are but even though we have this backer piece it's going to be like an extra cushion that in case my studs don't line up or at least get it into the wood and not the drywall but um this is going to go through the railing and then on the back side they'll have this little spacer to keep it away from the drywall [Music] okay so plan b exactly i told you guys have the spacing between the pulley and the wood far enough and i still didn't give it enough i don't know what happened but anywho we took the center railing off we're going to slide it on then put the other man i can't talk right now put the other door on then put the center railing in and that's the only option what you want to do is take these this is exactly what created this line here or this little channel we're going to put it right there right kind of i don't know a few inches in and…
