If you're willing to put in the work of assembling the door, you can save money with this unfinished, unassembled option. It's made of Cypress wood that's ready to be painted or stained to match your home's style. The door comes in a variety of styles, including one or two sliding panels and various widths, so you can find the one that's the best fit for your space.

With full-length mirrors on both sides, this barn door makes an ideal separator between a bedroom and a bathroom. It has a solid wood core that won't warp when exposed to moisture and is made of unfinished pine. The solid wood also dulls noises between rooms, giving each room a bit more privacy than a hollow door would.

It's important to note that this door doesn't come with any of the hardware needed to install it, so you'll have to pick that up yourself. The pinewood is also unfinished, so you will need to stain or paint it yourself. This door measures 37 x 84 inches, but a 33-inch option is also available for narrower doorways.

A frosted glass and dark wood door like this one is the perfect complement to modern spaces.

This door comes with an installation kit that includes hardened nylon wheels that are guaranteed to be squeak-free. The included handle can be placed on the right or left of the 36-inch wide door, so you can place it in the best spot for your home.

With crossbuck accents, this door looks like it could have come straight from the farm. It arrives untreated, so you can add whatever stain or paint color you'd like to make it your own. You can install it using the included hardware or add your choice of metal framing and hardware to give it an individual touch.

The door measures 42 x 84 inches, so it's appropriate for wider-than-average doorways. For double doorways, you can purchase two doors and join the tracks together.

The door comes unassembled, but the kit includes everything you need to mount it, including door stops and safety stoppers. Some reviewers did say that the instructions can be confusing, but that the videos on Wayfair's website helped clarify some steps.

Thanks to its solid pine core, this is one of the more soundproof options available. It's also one of the heaviest, so it might not be the most convenient pick for a high-traffic area of your home. It's stained a deep brown color, and is also available in an unfinished version that can be painted or stained to your preference. The door measures 36 x 84 inches.

The door comes unassembled and hardware is not included, so you will need to purchase some separately before the door can be installed. Installing a barn door is a quick and easy DIY project, as they don't require any major framing, only special hardware.

Looking for a door that works with a wide opening, like the entryway from your office to the living room? At 48 x 84 inches, this is one of the widest single-panel doors you can get. For extra-high door openings, you can also get this door in a 96-inch tall version as well.

The door is made of solid distressed alder wood planks and comes in two colors, a cool gray that gives off a modern feel and a deep, warm brown that looks like it came straight from a real barn. Hardware, including the handle, is not included, so you can get the perfect finish to fit your taste.

Size

Remember, a barn door must be wider than the doorway. For complete coverage when closed, look for a door that is several inches wider than the doorway opening. That way you'll minimize gaps, especially important when privacy is needed, like for a bathroom.

Track Length

Purchase a track that's twice the width of your door. For instance, a four-foot wide door will need eight feet of track to completely open. This may require joining two pieces of track together using connectors from the track's manufacturer.

Structural Support

Barn doors can be heavy. To ensure your doorway can support the weight, it's often recommended to mount the track to a 2x4, which you'd attach to the wall studs above the doorway. That way you can rest easy that both you and your walls are safe with the added weight.
