Lindsay from Girl Meets Carpenter used the wheel part of vintage meat hooks (discarding the actual hook part) — see more here on Remodelaholic.
The folks at AKA Design really thought outside the box — on top of building this lovely door from upcycled wood (love the vertical metal accents!), they used broken scooter wheels to create the hardware!
Farm Fresh Vintage Finds spent only about $20 on this DIY rolling door, using clothesline pulleys and wood scraps
Lynn Knowlton used these gorgeous wood pulleys for her barn door — and then she found local Amish to make them for YOU! Details on her blog here. (And even after the cost of handmade wooden wheels, you can still outfit your barn door for about $100 or less.)
Lisa from My Not So Shabby Life hit up the hardware store and for about $45 used pulleys and deck hardware for this elegant-looking door hardware:
And, over at The Lettered Cottage, one of Layla’s readers, Brier, shared this solution which uses a lowly sliding closet door rail — but it hardly looks like one once it’s painted and hung with the wood!
And then we enter the plumbing section of the hardware store — handy for shelving and curtain rods, and also for sliding door hardware! Use the pipes to make the rail which will save you a bundle, and then use a loop or hook (like an eye hook). A few examples:
Fig Milkshakes spent just $40 on the fittings for this setup:
And Mandi over at Vintage Revivals (who was doing this before everyone else, because she’s always ahead of the curve like that!) used galvanized pipe for the same idea, different look.
A couple of J hooks worked for Cottage 4C to hang her doors — plus they’re easily removable should you need to pull the door down for some reason.
This tutorial over at Apartment Therapy uses a different style of hinged loop:
Baby Rabies and her engineering husband came up with a DIY solution for a barn door track (and see how they built their doors here)
Sweet Maple Blog used a similar approach, using flat stock metal for the hardware but leaving it galvanized for a different style:
And since the long metal track can get pricey, you can do like A Little Bite of Everything did and use a similar pulley setup with two (or more) shorter horizontal flat tracks:
And… an honorable mention because it’s beautiful AND affordable even if it wasn’t sweat-of-your-brow DIY…
(because sometimes paying a little more money to save some time/energy is sooo worth it)
The Hunted Interior used a traditional interior door and an door hardware kit (about $150) from
Home Depot
UPDATE: WOW! We found dozens of pre-made barn door hardware options — many under $100 and all 23 are under $200!
Both Amazon and Home Depot have a nice selection of rolling door hardware, in lots of different styles — be sure to look around and check weight and door height/thickness requirements to make sure you choose the right hardware for your door!
*Please note that online prices may fluctuate, but even if these prices change a bit, they’re still pretty budget-friendly!

Double Rolling/Sliding Doors (and Triple, Too)
If you have an extra wide space or just don’t have space to slide a full-sized door to one side of the doorway, you can split the difference and use two (or more) doors instead!

Karah from The Space Between upcycled old french doors into a gorgeous statement for her master bath, and she hung them using easy-to-install premade hardware.
You can get a similar look following this building plan for these doors we found on Better Homes and Gardens.
The Turquoise Home built two extra-large rolling barn doors to cover a large opening:
But Pretty Providence just used one extra-wide barn door, almost like a moveable wall!
And My Repurposed Life built a set of doors and then hung them using tractor supply hardware:
If you don’t have space for a full door, you can try a bypass door system like Inspired By Charm — just be sure you have a wide opening to begin with, since you’ll be blocking half the door way even with the door all the way “open”
Wilkerdos has a very detailed tutorial for not just making the barn doors (single or double), but also hanging them on a DIY rail system — plus lots of tips!
And you can build these double barn doors over at The Handmade Home — super fun for a playroom!
Addicted2Decorating had a long wall for double doors, so she created an extra long rail using pipe to carry her doors which she made by adding glass to plain doors (inspired by the Bellagio!)
Need more than 2 doors? Use a layered closet track system and barn door setup for triple doors like Build Sew Reap — all 3 doors can slide to one side, giving better access to the pantry.
Or you can put bypass closet door tracks to good use and have FOUR doors (on two tracks) to cover a large span of a closet, too (via Lynne Knowlton).
