Barn Door - What is the best width for 36" opening?

12 years ago
Any opinions as to whether it is best to make the door wide enough to cover the 3" casing when the door is in the closed position from the track side of the sliding door? We are using 3" casing so it would add another 6.5" to the width with the 1/4" reveal - I think we would probably make the door 44" if trying to cover the casing. Alternatively, is it necessary to cover the casing but rather make the door slightly wider than the opening if both the casing and the door are some finish (stain grade solid wood)
Appreciate any input and thank you for your time.
