Vinyl Barn Doors

Vinyl barn doors cost an average of $825, all-in. These are the most affordable types of barn doors, and they're the lightest, too. While vinyl can have a wood-look finish, it doesn't have the same high level of natural, rustic finish as real wood. However, if you're remodeling on a budget or the structural integrity of your wall isn't great, then vinyl is a solid choice. Plus, it's low maintenance and fairly durable.

Medium Density Fiberboard Barn Doors

Medium density fiberboard (MDF) barn doors typically cost $1,025, and can run anywhere from $700 to $1,350, including parts and labor. Comparatively inexpensive, MDF barn doors are heavy, requiring a solid wall that can take the weight. However, the weight and density make the doors very durable, and the smooth finish means the doors are often carved with lots of detail for aesthetic appeal. They're also easy to paint and require the same level of maintenance as wood. MDF barn doors are popular because they're easy to finish in a contemporary fashion.

Metal Barn Doors

Metal barn doors have an average price of $1,650, and a typical range of $750 to $2,550. While costly, metal doors are long-lasting and strong. They're also very low maintenance. If you choose a lightweight material like aluminum, you can install them on walls that can't take the intense weight of wood or MDF. Steel is a good option for high-traffic areas, as, although it costs a bit more than aluminum and is a bit heavier, it can withstand more knocks, scrapes, and dents without sustaining damage.

Wood Barn Doors

Wood barn doors cost an average of $1,850, or between $650 and $3,050. Wooden barn doors have a highly prized rustic style, making them the most popular barn door type. The price range is so extensive because there's an array of wood species from which to choose. From wallet-friendly pine to mid-range walnut or cedar, to high-end English oak or exotic Ipe or Brazilian cherry, homeowners are sure to find a wood that works. Some choose custom doors built from reclaimed barns and actual barn doors for authenticity.

Can I make a door out of plywood?

For a standard interior door, 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) plywood will work best. A solid piece of plywood will create a door with a much sturdier construction than the hollow-bodied variety installed in most homes.

Article Summary

To make a door, start by getting a 4-foot by 8-foot sheet of plywood that's 1/2 inch thick. Then, measure the height and width of the doorway you'll be installing the door in and mark the dimensions on the plywood. Next, use a circular saw to cut out the plywood, and sand the wood so the faces and edges are smooth and level. If you want to add accents to the door, use thin strips of the leftover plywood, or use some wooden molding. Finally, paint or stain your door and apply a water-resistant sealer if it will open to the outside. To learn how to hang a homemade door, scroll down!
