Sliding Doors Questions

[rmzsuzuki89]

I'm wanting to do sliding doors on my new enclosure instead of swinging doors. I'm wanting to be able to open half of the cage at a time, and have both sides open-able so I can get to every corner relatively easily. I've never done sliding doors before, so I was hoping for some advice or how-to's. Pics are always welcome as well ...I have a build log up of the new enclosure I'm building.

Coldbloodedcages.com sells the tracks for sliding doors. I think you can just use liquid nails to attach it.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Get a track kit if you arn`t handy with a table saw .. Get your kit BEFORE you build an opening and hope that the kit comes with measurements tho you can have glass cut any size .. once you have the parts its not hard to see how it works ...

I never thought about making a track with the table saw. Maybe I'll make a track out of a 2x4, thanks for the idea.
