After being quoted up to £4,000 for wardrobes with sliding doors, I'm gonna go down the DIY route.
I've sourced the doors, 4 for £320, and will need to build a stud case if you like that the doors will partially sit behind. I'm happy with this part, plasterboarding it and getting someone in to skim it over.
However, the internal bits are what are causing me problems. I know you can buy kits but I'd rather something purpose built, and to be honest I enjoy wood work. I'm not great at it, but I enjoy it. And as long as it stands up, that'll do me. lol
What wood should I be using though? Am I best of just using 'furniture boards'. I know b&q do walnut ones that would match the doors. Or should I use something it else and just paint/stain it?
Does anyone else have any other suggestions? For example how to connect them all together. lol Fixings etc?
Would really appreciate any advice as I've not done anything like this before.
Thanks
