Enclosure

I'm building my own 5 high enclosures for my bp's. I'm wanting to put my windows in so they can slide, left-right. Instead of the window with hinges. Can somone describe how to make the sliders for the windows?

Use glass tracks and then just have the glass cut to fit. You should have the glass cut slightly shorter than the height of the opening to be able to fit it in the track. I also use jeweler's locks to keep the doors secured.

Thanks Nat.

I found a company, Outwater. I got it in black and you have to buy at least 100".

I don't know why is didn't underline the link, but "Glass Track" in my previous post is a link to Rockler's website for the tracks. They are 4' pairs. You might be able to find them cheaper, but I was able to pick them up from a local Rockler store.

My racks!! Used HD storage shelves. Had the tubs sliding out long was as most, but like this idea better for my 14'sq room. Now I pull the tubs out 3' wide towards me. This way there not 3' deep from the wall, just 2' deep. I can go 8 tubs high by 4 racks across the 14' wall and it'll only come out 2'. That's 32 sub adults to adult tubs and then on a smaller wall I can face them the same way, but put 2 or 3 juvi tubs per shelf by 8 high by 2 racks across the smaller wall. That's 32 to 48 juvi tubs. Then I'll have a custom built 5 high enclosure for my keepers/ breeders. They'll have 3'Wx2'Dx1'H with sliding double window. And last but not least I'll have a custom built enclosure for my lav tiger retic. It'll be 8'Wx2'Dx1-1/2'H on the right side where his warm side will be and then it'll be 6'Hx3'W of the total 8'W on the left side for him to hang out in a piece of vertical drift wood. Can't wait to get it all DONE!
