Good Questions: Trolly Wheels For Hanging Message Board? Los Angeles

Good Questions: Trolly Wheels For Hanging Message Board?
Los Angeles

Dear AT,
I'm looking to create a giant message board like this in my kids' playroom (only using a whiteboard panel behind a floating corkboard), but I have no idea where to find trolley/by-pass wheels like they've used here. The folks at AT and its readers always find the best product matches. Does anyone have any ideas of where I can find something similar? Thanks, Angie

Got a good question you'd like answered? Send your queries and a photo or two illustrating your question, and we'll see if the ATLA team or our readers can help you out.

Ask the hardware store for clothesline pulleys or something similar.

It looks like barn door hardware to me.

I haven't used this company, so I can't comment on their products or services, but check out some of their items and photos. It is seems like what you are looking for, there are loads of sources for barn door hardware...

And great idea! I'm filing this one away...

Yep, barn door hardware. We've bought it from McCoy's, and Tractor Supply Co. probably carries them as well. Good luck!

This company makes some cool trolley-wheel-like rolling door hardware. I thought of using it for a very similar project in our kitchen. Look at the flat-track hardware.
