Learn step by step instructions how to install a rustica hardware support header with our very own kate and paul.
Interior barn door header board.
The hardware kit does not come with the supplies you will need to install a header board so you will have to get the piece of wood and interior screws separately.
It will help create a gap between the door and frame.
Which is great if you re only ever going to have your door closed.
It is advised not to install the track directly into the drywall so we first needed to install a header board above our door opening.
Use a color that matches the door or the trim in your home.
A backer board is only required if you don t have this much space available see steps 3 5 below.

There should be one inch of space between the barn door and the wall frame.
Without the addition of this header board the door track would only have hit something called a header inside the wall which is basically two 2x4s stacked on top of each other in a couple of places over the doorway.
