DIY Sliding Wardrobe / Closet Door Build & Installation (Bunnings Cowdroy Door Track)

Our 2nd bedroom/study wardrobe (or closet for my North American friends) has HUGE hinged doors which while nice, take up half the room to open and needed renovation. So I decided to replace them with a DIY sliding door system from Bunnings. I made the hollow core MDF doors from scratch with Kreg pocket hole joinery, bought a Cowdroy track rail from Bunnings for them to run on, and installed a custom pelmet trim piece to cap it off.

This was a big project that took a few weeks on and off to complete but saved us heaps compared to a professional installation.

This is the track system I used (Note: Australian Big Box Store)

In the USA I've been able to find this similar Primeline Bypass Closet Track Kit - https://amzn.to/3H2QXrz (Please Note: I've not tested this kit but it looks OK)
