Can a Sliding Barn Door Work Over an Archway in a Home?Updated 10 months ago

Yes, a sliding barn door can work over an archway in a home, but there are a few important considerations to keep in mind:

Rail Placement: Our rolling barn door rails do not curve, so you will need to install the rail high enough to cover the archway completely. This may require mounting the rail above the highest point of the arch.

Door Size: Ensure that the door is large enough to cover the entire archway. The door should be wide and tall enough to prevent any gaps around the edges, ensuring privacy and aesthetic appeal.

By taking these factors into account, you can successfully install a sliding barn door over an archway, adding a unique and stylish touch to your home.
