sliding glass door track

[scottyy]

Ive heard to use a 2x4 and a tablesaw but do the tracks that can be purchased work better? The cage is 8ft x 4ft x 3ft and is for my retic.

That depends on your woodworking skill and attention to detail. Buying the track is more convenient if it's readily available.

Yes a purchased track will work better. The wood can warp.

Where can i get the tracks and i have a carpenter working on it cuz i dont have very good woodworking skills

[rocknhorse76]

Amazon and eBay both sell them. I also believe that McCarthy Boas does too.

I found some on monster cages but it was like ten bucks a foot.

Rockler sells some 4 foot pieces for 18 bucks, I think, and 8 dollars shipping. You can get it on their site or through amazon. You might check to see if you have a local woodworking place, not lowes or home depot, more like a woodworking nerd place, some have rockler stores inside them or something similar. and some glass companies carry track as well.

I just used square aluminum from lowes. Cut it to length and install.

Lowes, Home Depot, etc. usually sell window track as well.... wouldn't have thought you would need to rig something up. Good to hear you worked something out, though. :)

i was just looking for a more inexpensive way to make it... not cheap lol.
