Be sure to use metal strips that are thin, but without much flex in them, or your doors will have a tendency to bend a bit away from the house. It's livable, but annoying. How do I know this? Don't ask! Let's just say that version 2.0 of the hardware is currently on my worktable, scheduled for a weekend install. ;)-

A space-saver—barn doors like these roll to the sides, rather than requiring enough space to swing open. Just the right thing for the Aucoins' maple sugar shop.-

Doors are scratch built. Note the hardware in place at the top, running in the channel; hardware and channel are both black, to imitate the look of wrought iron.-

Finding just the right tiny wheel was tricky. I looked at every store I have near me for tiny real wheels, but didn't find anything this tiny. I considered whether polymer clay might be strong enough to withstand the abuse sliding doors will take. I looked at buttons. And when I was about to give up on the doors' being able to function and just fake it, there, near the buttons at my local fabric shop, is a row of snaps. Yes, indeed, one-half of a snap makes the perfect wheel for this purpose, with its protruding stem the right size to ride on the edge of the track, and a rustic look in mini that a detail freak like me can love. The hardware is assembled with thin strips of metal that attach to the door, bent to receive the snap ("wheel") in the middle of the bend, and a black jewelry headpin, cut short, for the "nail" that holds the assembly together. Looks good, and actually works. Whee!-

The track has to run twice as wide as the door-opening, of course, in order that both doors can slide (roll, really) out to let the door open fully.-

From the album: Spring Fling 2012
The back of the garden room showing Ellie enjoying a drink on her sun lounger. This was a cheap whitewood sunlounger bought on Ebay I attached a Heidi Ott unbrella - customised to give it that bohemian look and I made the cushions to cover it. In hindsight I think I should have done something with the wheels as they look a bit clunky. I made the figure of Ellie sunbathing so that she could either be out here on the patio or relaxing on the garden room couch. I was amazed to find a brilliant set of sliding doors at The Dolls House Emporium. With a little adjustment, they fitted the opening perfectly and with some melted candle wax painted in the grooves, they slide open and shut like a dream.© Jo Medvenics 2012
