DO YOU
LIVE IN A
BARN?
I installed my rails—the horizontal pieces—making sure to
do so on the correct side of the
square line. You can use anything
from cut nails to drywall screws
to fasten. Note: For nailing applications, a little construction
adhesive couldn’t hurt to hold
everything together over time.
We used 1/2-by- 1-1/2-inch lags
(they required two washers to
keep from piercing through the
other side of the door).
Install the top rail
and stand-offs.
Predrill for hardware and
install the bottom rail.
LAYOUT AND CUT THE Z
The next step is to connect the
top and bottom rail with a diagonal
brace I call the Z. This is finicky,
so it pays to be careful, patient,
and to use a few test pieces
before cutting the final piece.
Use a piece of scrap lumber
the same width as the Z material
