How much space do you need for the tracks on the top of the frame and the sides?

As I recall it was about a half inch. I no longer own the home where I installed this.

Not sure but I don't see any need for anymore tracks. It comes with plenty!

Needs 3" ceiling clearance. Measure up from the center of the Torsion bar. The track height shouldn't matter as far as I know.

This set would be pretty small to be used alone. These plastic ones do not seem to be as easy to find if you wanted to add some more tracks. We have plastic ones that I wanted to add to, but these have different sized connectors so we had to return them. The wooden ones are very common. I would suggest buying wooden track set that can easily be added to. MRM

I think it is the perfect size for such a use. I have a "town" on a ledge that runs the length of my kitchen/family room and run the trolley on about 25 feet of track in front. The set does not come with much track so you'll need to buy more.

approximately 12". I found that marking off the layout and laying a double row bricks for the frame to sit on stabilizes the frame. When you put down the bricks you leave space for the posts. I used red brick. It offsets the white beautifully.

The Track is about 16 inches. You need at least 17 to be able to close the door. I think it will fit with a bit to spare. We love ours!Jan

There is about a half inch TOTAL from the bottom of the track to the bottom ov the basket. If that isn't enough look at getting some wooden yard sticks or paint stirers and use them under the tracks to raise it up a little

]No, the track is only 48" wide, you could get two sets and have them meet in the center

i used about 6 inches of jackshaft just to clear the track with drive on the end of that .i have 24 inches between the wall and door frame gives about 16 inches of room can be less mounted on the right side looking out

the track that is furnished with set is 24in in dia. so you would need to buy more track

You need 21.38 inches for the basket & frame. You could put two 1" x 1" holes in the back of the cabinet to clear the tracks.

I agree with Tutu. Messing with the structural design would likely be not a good approach to use and the tracks are already wide. I hope this helps.

The top rail is not really useable. It has side rails but they are limited.

I love it! We set the tracks as high as we could, the top bar setting for the average dress shirt and the lower bar can hang extra long sweater and still have room for shoe boxes underneath. Our ceilings are just at 7ft. I hope that helps. Very sturdy - we've had over a year and not even a budge/warp. So worth the money!

The inside dimension of the top track from the bottom of the channel to the top of the outside rail is 1/2". For the bottom, the dimension is 3/16". The track thickness (bottom or top only) is 1/8". So if X is the height of the space you'll put the track in, you'll need X-2*(1/8")-3/16" for the glass. I'd take another 1/16" off so you have enough clearance to get the glass over the edge of the bottom track. That would still leave you 1/4" at the top for the track to hold the glass in. So then you'd need a glass that's X-1/2", where X is the height of the space without the track. Be sure everything is square and the dimensions don't vary over the length of the track. Hope his helps!

Since it is a set a frame is not necessary. You can add a head board. It should fit with no problem.
