This was a super fun build for me! I have been wanting to do it for a long time, but was a little intimidated with the hardware. I bypassed the expensive kits you see online and built my own from aluminum flat bar, carriage bolts, and sliding door pulleys. I am very pleased with the overall project and wish I would have done it sooner! Shortened down to 6', and I opted to make 3 "openings, with the middle being the same as the outers, doubled, to insure the doors matched up.
