WELCOME

Cool to see you are looking for more info on
custom sliding barn doors.
I’d like to welcome you all to the first issue of White Shanty
Digital Design Guide. This guide will serve as an extension of
information offered on the White Shanty site, with articles
inspired by some of the greatest craftsman I’ve come to know
with combined experience of over 100 years!
For many years people have been asking me why I didn’t
release an app for the iPhone and iPad. The answer was quite
simple: I couldn’t find anything that added value to what I
did on WhiteShanty.com. I wanted something more than aside-scrolling buying guide app that basically imitated what
I’d already linked to or written on the Web site.

Anyway, we hope this assists your barn door
purchasing process.

BUILDING YOUR BARN DOOR
Once an item is purchased our amazing team of craftsmen
start assembling the materials needed for construction.
For example, if a metal door is purchased it ignites our welding
process, which includes a meticulous cleaning and sanding
process to ensure a smooth finish for painting. Before we start
painting, we insert the glass panes into the frame. Once theglass is properly placed and secure, we carefully cover theglass and prime and paint the raw metal frame.
We match any custom color or stain you desire for your barn
door. All that is needed is a name or image of your chosencolor and we match it. Our finishes are created with a primer
built in and are sprayed onto each door surface with an air
compressor. This technique allows us to provide even paintapplication for color matching as well as texture consistency.
Each team member is assigned to a particular part of thebuilding process, and are meticulously detailed in their efforts,
trust us, your barn door is in good hands.

THE ULTIMATE CUSTOM

BARN
DOOR
MAKE A SPACE YOUR OWN

Building a custom barn door withWhite Shanty is a very easy
process that we have perfected
over our 35+ years of experience.
The design process starts withyour idea. Now this idea canconsist of a drawing you
sketched, a picture you found on
Pinterest or a verbal description
from a barn door you saw. As you
are chatting with our door
designers be sure to think
through all your design options:
Is your barn door made ofmetal or wood?
If it is made of wood whatstyle will you use, reclaimed
or slab?
Think about your finish, would
you like it stained, painted a
pop of color, or left naturaland raw.
Will you be adding any glassor mirror elements to yourdoor for natural light or daily
outfit checks?
Our expert door designers will
walk you through all your options
from room placement to hardware
selection.

Once a design is finalized, we
will send over a certified drawing
for design confirmation. This
allows you to see how your door
will look after it is made and how
it will fit into your space. These
CER drawings are made by our
in-house engineering team toensure proper construction for
durability and longevity.
Upcharges may apply for thisstep.
Once you and your door designer
have confirmed the CER you willthen purchase the barn door andwe will get to work constructing it.
The construction process for a
fully custom barn door can run 36 weeks but once it is finished,
we will safely pack it and ship it toyour door. Our custom barn doors
are famous for their originality
and quality.

BARN DOORTIPS & TRICKS

A barn door might seem like a very

1heavy curtain but trust us when we
say its not. High quality doors mean aheavy project that's best done with apartner. With the help of your bestfriend, contractor, or significant
other, the process is way lessstressful.

If you don't have a level at home its
worth purchasing one to ensure yourdoor is level. If your door is not level
it could significantly affect thefunctionality of the door as well as
diminish the longevity of your barndoor due to increase wear and tear.
When considering handles wesuggest getting a pull handle that3

works with your style on one site ofthe door and a recessed handle on
the backside of the door . This willallow the necessary clearance for thedoor to glide against the wall as wellas the convenience of opening yourbarn door from the back.
