This would be more typically, two 24 inch, meet at middle. Due to below...Would I do it? No.: )

• Total Wall Width Required: You will need roughly 98 inches of continuous horizontal wall space (48 inches for the open walkway, 48 inches for the hidden pocket cavity, plus 2 inches for structural studs and framing tolerances). [1, 2]
• Wall Thickness: Most heavy-duty single-door frames require a standard 2x4 stud wall, though specialized rigid kits like the Eclisse Classic Single Frame offer premium 2x6 variants to handle heavy 48-inch slabs without warping the drywall. [1]
• No Obstructions: The 4-foot section of the wall where the door slides must be completely clear of any electrical wiring, plumbing lines, or structural HVAC ductwork. [1]

" Do pocket doors come in 48” width? "

Absolutely they do. I would buy the best quality hardware I could get if using one however and you may need to special order the door itself but frames are definitely available at a local real lumberyard thru their millwork supply house.

I agree with Jan the 2 x24" a better choice and also less issues down the road . 48" doors are heavy , often not easy to move for older people even with great hardware and a great door.

I feel like a 48" wide pocket door would look odd - where would you locate this door?

I would also say a solid one (which is generally preferred) would be heavy at that width and might strain the hardware

Good grief....... you have three posts with basically the same question.

Exactly what are you trying to do where, why 48" and what style door? Is it to "close" the living space we see above? To replace the door on the right which looks oddly proportioned and swings in? We only know what you tell us, and it is better to do that, than ask three times, with no context as to what you are attempting to accomplish : )

WHY? A pocket door has to have a wall to go into. Why not 2@24" which has been mentioned. Why do you want or need a full 48" door when you have other options?

I'm in agreement with other posters - (2) 24" doors might give a better look as opposed to one 48" door. Depending on the height of the door either might look "squatty" but the (2) 24" doors should alleviate some of that.
