Plans for exterior barn doors?
Hi - I need to replace an old sliding barn door for my workshop and would like to build something from scratch. It's a 7 foot wide by 6.5 high opening and I'm thinking a design similar to this...

I've searched high and wide on the internet looking for plans or anything to point me in the right direction. Maybe I'm overthinking it but seems like i build the rails and stiles using solid lumber and mortise and tendon joints. Then I put in the T&G board within a dado in those and let them float.
I'm sure there lots of details or learnings that would be good to know. Any advise including what kind of wood to use assuming they will be painted.
Thanks
