Hi guys,
I'm new to the DIY game (a hobby forced upon me by her majesties finest) and have decided to attempt the task of fitting our sliding wardrobe doors. There are however a few obstacles I just don't know how to overcome.
I have a perfectly sized alcove W X 201cm, H X 219cm D X 94cm. The only problem with this is that at one end of the room the ceiling slopes. The height I have quoted is the height at where the ceiling stops sloping and becomes parallel once more. I was told I would need to make a frame of some sort to support the Sliding door's tracks. So my first question is how to do this properly taking into account the sloping ceiling.
I want doors to look part of the wall and to achieve this I am guessing a degree of accuracy is required. I shall try my best with that one but I know for a fact my walls are uneven.
My last hurdle are the skirting boards. How do I get a neat fit to the wall with the doors when my skirting boards are an inch or so off the wall?
Any help or tips would be hugely helpful because i am literally taking on this task having only ever put up a simple shelf.
Many thanks
