we started to work on our closet sliding panels. we need total of 9 panels. each panel is full height 8'-6" (floor to ceiling) hollow core slab. custom made panel would cost $250, having to buy 9 panels would be way over our budget. so we custom made it ourselves using stock size hollow core slabs available from Home Depot for 23$. thus we ended up paying $40 for a slab. we glued slabs together to get height needed. seem was concealed using wood filler and electric sander. couple coats of paint and there you have full height slab for fraction of price of custom made one.
