STEP 2: BACKER BOARD INSTALLATION FOR RUSTIC AND MODERN
Pre-drill the 1 X 4 X 84 backer board to align with the track’s mounting
holes by clamping the track to the backboard and using it as a stencil.
1. Center track on backer board. You should roughly have 31/32" on
either side of the track to the edges of the backer board
2. Pre-drill through the 6 main track holes, using a 1/4" bit, through the
backer board
Figure 9. Pre-drilling Backer Board
Locating Studs
1. The board will be placed 84-1/4" from the bottom edge of the backer
board to the ground. If installing into thicker carpet, make sure to
take this measurement with the end of the measuring tape rmly
placed to the base of the carpet
2. Horizontally, the board should be placed so it has a minimum of
3 inches of overlap with the passage opening the barn door will
operate within, as shown in gure 10
3"
84 1/4"
Figure 10. Backer Board Placement
Backer Board Placement
1. Make note of the general position of the backer board
2. Use a stud nder to nd and locate as many studs as possible to
secure the backer board to (fasteners included for 5 studs)
3. Mark the stud locations, and make note of how they will be located
on the backer board
Figure 11. Backer Board Stud Alignment
Pre-drill the backer board for stud attachment.
1. Using a 1/8" drill bit, pre-drill for the studs, placing two holes
vertically spaced along the area that will contact the stud as
seen in gure 11
2. Once pre-drilling is complete, sand and paint or stain the backer
board to the desired nish
3. With the backer board held in position and level, secure it to at
least 5 studs with the included (10) #9 X 2-1/2" wood screws
