i have made mine sliding glass doors in the past but also used hinged doors on the sides or front.

all i did to make doors on my enclosures was get a piece of 16mm mdf board or you could use a timber frame then cut out a square / rectagle 20mm less in length and height so the glass overhangs the cut out 10mm each side then using a plunge router rebate this 11mm by 4mm deep so the glass sits inside rebate then silicone glass in leave a day then on whatever side you pice use a piano hing to swing door on, this sounds alot harder than it actually was. hope this helps if needed print this out and ask your teacher what i am on about

yeah i was thinking about using sliding glass doors but i was wondering how do you make it. or can you buy doors.

[bitey]

for slinding doors go and buy track for the glaas to run in then get glass cut to fit your local glass man/ women will fix you up, they also should stock locks for sliding glass doors

[bitey]

sorry thats glass not glaas
