A few notes on our build:
- we wanted to keep the center section open for a wider display by deleting the middle upright
- if using barn door slider kits, you need to take into account the recess and height of these. Recommend either building up the top as we did with layering more boards in a stepped fashion, or going with 1x6 for full clearance.
we dressed up the sides by adding a cross brace. I found a double door kit on Amazon for $125. I now have a spare rail for future project.
- the top was finished from walnut
Overall pretty easy build, and first time spraying paint through HVLP sprayer. Thank you for the plans and ideas!
