A barn door needs a wall to slide on and in your case, 2 barn doors. You do not have walls for them to slide on to. The bifolds are a better option for your closet.

I saw bypass systems online for barn doors so that the doors just slide past each other and not on the wall but cannot find one long enough. I‘m wondering if anyone knows of one for this length. It doesn't have to be a true barn door but just something that will slide. Unfortunately the bifold won’t work anymore because of a table that will be on that wall.

You also need to consider how much you can view with bypass doors. I have them on several closets in this house. I dislike every single one of them. Once you slide one over, there isnt enough space to actually see much of your clothing or in my case, these closets are all walk in, and its very inconvenient to get inside them. We had them at another house years ago, and hubby got so frustrated with them, he took them off and made a set of double doors for each of the master bedroom closets. That way, they opened to a full width closet.

In my case, this closet houses a water heater so if I can slide the doors over to the water heater side, the bypass system would be ideal. The water heater is covered in the photo because my cat keeps jumping on it so I had to put stuff around it. I had some quotes through door places but they are all so expensive so I’m trying to figure out what doors to buy online but I am inept when it comes to figuring out these sorts of things.

Electric water heater, yes?

I don't see how bypass doors are going to work with this situation.

You will need three doors (32" doors) and a cased opening. This opening does not appear to be a typical 2x4 framed opening. You need the depth of a traditional casing in order to mount the track to the header. The track(s) will be a lot wider than bifold tracks because each door slides in its own track. IOW's, you will need three tracks mounted side by side to the header.

I have bypass doors on three closets in my house. I so dislike them. I don't love bifold doors either but bypass doors are much, much worse.

You will only be able to access 1/2 of the space at a time and that might be an issue with a water heater. BTW the hardware for barndoors is the most expensive part and IMO if saving money is the first concern get a set of bypass doors and forget the whole barn door thing. Also where is this in the house?

It's a 92" opening. Will need three doors so the open accessible space will be larger than half of the opening. Which will be sufficient given that the water heater is on one end & the doors can stack at that end. Better than double bypass, at least.

Thank you! That link is exactly what I needed!!
