How to Do Sliding Barn Door Measurements?
Here is what he did to measure the sliding barn door.
First, he measured the barn door width. To do that, he added two inches to the opening after measuring it from side to side.
Next, he determined the ideal height for my barn door. He took measurements for that, adding one inch to his final measurement from the floor to the top of the door opening.
Finally, he measured the amount of clearance above the door frame, which is required by the hardware kit used for the sliding barn door. According to him, my track size ought to be at least twice as wide as my door.
This is what I remember he did before installing my sliding barn door.

To know the length measure from the header to the floor. You should remember that the track will be a little bit away from the opening. You need to have at least a 1.2-inch gap between the floor and the door so that the door opens smoothly.
