Default Barn door

Need to replace an 11'3" wide 9' tall barn door. It's the type that hangs
from the top on a track with two rollers. The door that's there is made of
tongue and groove siding with some horizontal 5/4" lumber to keep it
together.

Could really use some ideas for a new door. Was going to try to find some
12' sheet siding but I can't. I did find new tongue and groove, but it's not
very good quality.

Thanks,
Al


If the door is more to keep the rain out than provide security I would
weld up a steel frame out of square tube and cover it with a
lightweight roofing metal.

It makes a fairly substantial door and keeps the weight down a bit .
