Barn door in sleeping loft - can I lean against it?

7 years ago

I have a small sleeping loft that is accessed by a ladder going into an opening in one wall. I want to be able to sit down and lean against that wall. Of course, I don't want to fall thru the opening. If I put a barn door INSIDE the loft that is LARGER than the opening (so that the sides of the barn door will overlap with the wall), could I close the barn door over the opening and then lean against the barn door? I think the extra width of the barn door that overlaps the wall would support my weight, but I wanted to ask if I'm missing something.


Or any other ideas to fix my problem?
