Use two 6' Sliding Door Track Covers?

Quick Learner from Tampa, Florida
Looks like I'll need the small 6' Sliding Door Track Cover. But our door has twice the travel length, because it is designed to fully open into a recess in the frame. So I'll need about 8 feet. Can I just buy two pieces and cut the second one to meet up with the first?

Yes, that is what we'd recommend to do for spaces larger than 6ft. You'll just need to make sure the two pieces are sitting flush against one another so the door will continue to run over the track smoothly.

Also, you'll want to double check that there isn't any significant damage, like dents, in the existing track. If there are, installing the cover over those spaces without filling them in could cause the cover to become damaged in those exact places.
