Project Barndoor for Toilet 

What the final completed project looks like.  Pretty happy with the final output.

How the project actually started, from the very beginning working backwards ....

... managed to source pinewood planks (16' feet) from a dealer.  Got him to cut to 7' in length.

[attachmentid=9358018]
The job of constructing the barndoors was beyond what I had in skills and tools, hence got a local workshop to provide the labour.  Glad I did as it took them 1 day to complete the job.

[attachmentid=9358025]
Got them to sand it down to provide a smooth surface and remove possible wood splinters

[attachmentid=9358031]

Treated the wood myself using stains as well as applying a layer using wax paste (to provide a layer of protection from the splash of water).  The right side - the darker side is the treated section.

Treated and just waiting to be mounted on the railings ....

And finally completed!

I am sure there.  Some can come over to do the sanding at your place (they bring their equipment along), but not sure if you want dust around.  Otherwise, you might have to transport your table to and fro to the workshop.

Also depends on where the location of your house ; best to find a workshop near your place of residence.

Those that I know are located along Jalan Sungai Buloh - same stretch as all the nurseries.  100 metres before the Kota Damansara traffic lights (if coming from Subang Skypark Airport)
