4 years agoThanks for the idea but like I mentioned we didn't want anything going across the doorway cause it won't be hidden in any shape or form since there's no header. Here's some pics....and yes the walls aren't straight.... :-(

Comments (1)A sliding barn door would be fairly rare, but sliding glass doors (framed) have been around forever. The extent of any water leakage would be a factor of the size of your shower. How long, from wall to wall, and how wide? And where would the door fall relative to your standing positions? Imagine waving your arms around a bit and the trajectory of the water....See Moremaking a door jam 'smoother' for barn type sliding door
Comments (2)weedy- Thanks, the door moldings have been a worry to me. I have been thinking that the door would not clear if they were left on. I like the look of more modern/no casing, but that will be another day/another house... I am relieved to know the sliding door will pass over the moldings. Thank you OH- your home looks very nice- light, clean colors!...See MoreSliding door dilemma, barn or something else?

Comments (3)Sure, you purchase barn door hardware and the doors seperately from a millwork supply house or a real lumberyard. Double stacking doors and the track on the wall , be prepared to lose approximately 6" of floor space along that wall as well as the hanging area for the clock and wall art....See More

4 years agoNo, not dumb. At all. The space has a lot of challenges. What about a bifold door? Not a louvered closet type one. Something nicer.

Not sure if you are still in the middle of your renovation or hopefully this would be helpful for other people visiting this thread. Yes with ceiling mount hardware you can sometimes get a "gap" above the hardware or in between hardware and the door. The best solution is to install a 5.5" header board to fill that space. (see an incomplete system below in teal door)
A great hack option for a ceiling mount barn door is to use a traditional closet door system that allows for a super snug fit. For best height recommendation, take the height of your door and subtract 2". These systems can easily be spray painted.
