Hey, that's a very nice hack! (Which is a compliment, as opposed to calling something a hack job, LOL) Not that people questioned it but thru bolts in the door don't allow for vertical adjustment that one gets when using the standard trucks/wheel sets in the kits. HOWEVER, I have 6 pocket doors in my house, 3 of which I installed myself, and in the past 15 years none of them needed adjusting. Pretty ingenious job using mostly what you had on hand!
You’re simply amazing to share this with us, I’ve been looking for a solution to install a pocket door without a mess of breaking down the walls and your idea is something I can do it myself because I love DIY’s of all sorts 😅thanks for sharing…
Sandra Montes Thank you! I'm glad it inspired you. I never did a second video of just the door but I have pictures of the completed room on my blog. www.amyscreativepursuits.com/2018/04/my-new-guest-room-remodel-big-reveal.html
Not a bad idea at all. Love creative content, really quite brilliant. Just to bring additional value to the compliment, I am a finishing carpenter & heritage contractor who works the creative side regularly
It’s a piece of Angle Iron (it has a L shape), it’s 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch. It has to be slightly more than twice the width of your door. He thinks his was a six foot long piece (it’s hard for him to remember cause he made the video awhile ago). Thanks so much!
I asked my husband and he said he didn't know how to explain it. It's just a "fake wall" that is just a few inches from the wall to allow the door to slide behind. I wonder if there are any videos on "How to build a stud wall"? To me it looks like he screwed the top and bottom boards into the wall first, then screwed the four vertical boards into those. Sorry I can't be more help.
This how construction is.... many outrageous expensive products out there when u can built the same with less... same outcome and affordable price... so engenimeer blablabla
@@amyjohnson7301 alright dear thanks alot, we needed supplies in Ghana. I was about to throw away some doors shipped from europe to Ghana but after watching the video i released it can be use
Here is a blog post of the completed room with a video at the end of the post of the pocket door completed. www.amyscreativepursuits.com/2018/04/my-new-guest-room-remodel-big-reveal.html
He saved probably over half the price doing it this way instead of buying a kit. and that’s with Covid prices of materials lol. He could saved even more money if he just cut his old sheet rock/ drywall away and installed it in the wall cavity and just reseamed the wall instead of building the other side out and having to buy sheet rock.
Actually, those pocket door kits are outrageously expensive. This cost us nothing because we reused materials we already owned. We reused the door of the room and all the hardware we already had.
🤦 You don’t buy materials from box stores, you order and buy materials through actual lumber or contractor supply yards. You can get a pocket door kit for less the $150 that includes the door frame, door sliding rail. That barn door rail he has cost $125 from the box store itself, that door cost $80. You add in the cost of drywall, mud, tape, screws, finish trim, nails, you will be in it for $500 all said and done. Everyone of these CZcams diy peeps think they are saving money and being cheap but it’ll cost you more by not doing it the correct way.
@@gldmembr6132 did you even listen to him he didn’t use a barn door rail lol it’s angle iron which is like $20 for a 8 foot section. Pulleys which are probably a few bucks each but he said he already had. Then brackets which are like $2 each. And why would you go to a lumber yard to buy 5 2x4s? You wouldn’t even save anything unless you’re bulk buying from them and for all we know he could’ve had those 2x4s from an old project. Seems to me the guy saved a bunch of money just making an alternate track.
The heck, you nailed it. I was getting ready to go down the diy pocket door rabbit hole. But you covered it in the 1st video. Nice!
i know Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@@erikboone5883 WTF with you dude?

Thanks so much!
Nice work!
Thanks for this video! Going to do this at my place!
Creative way to utilize a small amount of space, essentially a barn door with a framed out "pocket" to hide it behind a wall. Not bad at all.
Straight to the point. Thanks 😊
Quick and Simple! I love it!
Great idea. I will just redesign the brackets you used. I will leave them as U shape and secure them on top of door instead. Awesome!
Ty Exactly what I was looking for, we can't put q pocket door so I wanted an external add on like this.
Nice job!!!
Thank you!
Wow I'm really impressed!
Hey really would like to see the outcome of it being completed please. Its a great idea, i am inspired!!!

Who is this guy and how to you see the completed project? Doe's he have a channel? Thx..Great idea.
The guy is my husband, and you can see the finished door/wall in my other video here: czcams.com/video/no-WxUaTtsE/video.html Thanks so much!
Nice job. and by the way Ski U Mah 🙃
I would love if you could possibly message me with a brief description of how you built the pocket door frame... would be amazing! Thank you :)

Do you have a video on creating the pop-out wall as this is something I am looking to do in one of the rooms in my mobile home
No, I'm sorry. I only have this video and the completed room video.
This how construction is.... many outrageous expensive products out there when u can built the same with less... same outcome and affordable price... so engenimeer blablabla
Nice video. What does the bottom look like? Is that on a track?
Thank you. No, the bottom is not on a track at all, just the top.
Is there a video as well on how the pocket door was finished. Thank you.
yes, the completed door and room is shown in this video: czcams.com/video/no-WxUaTtsE/video.html
Go Bucky!!
Do you have a video showing the finished product? Do the pulley wheels show when door is open?
Yes, right here: czcams.com/video/no-WxUaTtsE/video.html No, the pulley wheels don't show. Everything is enclosed.
Where can I get the accessories or system to buy, i am in ghana west africa and how much is it
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. I live in America and I'm unfamiliar with how you purchase items in Ghana.

🤦♂️ they make pocket door kits.. the amount of money and time wasted in that configuration you could of done it the right way
