    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have searched around and everyone keeps saying Lowe's or Home Depot but I have been to several stores and looked online and I can't seem to find what I am looking for, yet I look online (including here) and people seem to have them regularly.

Where in the world do you get the sliding frame rails for sliding glass doors? I am fine with them being adhesive but would rather they be able to be screwed. Perhaps I am just using the wrong terminology because when I go to the stores they keep taking me to large sliding glass doors and when I show them the glass I want to use they always tell me they don't have frames to fit it.

I am looking for rails that allow me to slide glass something like the image below

Thank you for all of the help.
 
At the hardware store, it's generally called u-channel. It's not actually made for that purpose, but that's what most people use. On amazon they have the double u channel that is even better. For my custom cages, we made the track out of a wood strip that we used the table saw and cut channels down the strip.
Hope this helps.
