Runners/Rollers for 4x8 OSB shelf doors

May 05, 2017 7 Replies

I have some big shelves in my store room, thinking of making doors out of vertical 4x8 OSBs to stop dust getting in..



some sort of runners or rollers from ebay or what would they be called and how to keep out most of the dust?



or is there a better way?

Try sliding door track as a search term in google images to narrow down the choice visually and follow your nose from there to get some key words for ebay

or make your own with a holesaw & ply/osb.

you could search for "barn door hardware" but beware, they seem to have become trendy, rather than utilitarian, and hence expensive ....

"Wardrobe door rails" would be strong enough, here is one example

£80 ish per meter - too expensive, I'd only open the doors a few times a month, what's a cheaper DIY solution?

Some 1"x1" steel U channel with "meccano" wheels screwed to the OSB and running in the channel?
