    Can you hang box rails barn doors from the ceiling without bottom tracks?

    Following the advice on other threads, I'm going to do ceiling mounted barn door box rails (double box rails to have bypass doors).

    2 feet deep brackets?

    originally, I wanted to put fixed 2x4 wood shelving in the garage (50 feet wide, 10 feet high space) and then put barn doors in front of it to hide everything and keep it clean. As I’m thinking more, I think behind the barn doors instead of using permanent wood shelving I think a track with...
