Where to buy (or better search terms) for aluminum track for glass (cage doors)
So we're looking for basically this upper and lower track but no matter what I search on, this one website is the only place I can find it and obviously they don't ship.
I can surely find it somewhere locally, but I'm having a terrible time with searching.
I will try the local home and industrial glass cutters tomorrow as well as print out pictures of above and ask at Lowes and Home Despot.
This looks like plastic and seems pretty expensive; these kind of things are really for shower doors and stuff.
May be a long shot when the majority here are tub folks, but anyone got any ideas? =)

You should be able to find plastic guides at L or HD. For aluminum you might also look in their aluminum raw stock selection. There is some stock that would work but would be single track so you would need to run two units side by side. The pastic will offer a more silent opperation.
Are you making the enclosure out of wood? You would also make wooden tracks pretty easily if so.

The Critter Condos we have for the girls use the same aluminum track I linked to and we'd like to use that as it's sturdy and looks nice and is pre-fabbed. I've also heard plastic tracks break or "pop off"...currently looking at constructing it out of 1/2" laminate plywood, lined with linoleum, sealed on the seams, vents, etc., heated with CHE or RHP (most likely the latter)...
Just working up how much the materials are to build it at this point while we wait to get a bid from Critter Condos...
