Sliding rail

[ukracer]

Looking for a long sliding rail to hold a couple of white boards.

Effectively to cover a range of shelves in my garage (stopping grinding sparks etc) but also.doubling as a white board.
Plan is to overlap them to get to the shelving but not sure what to search for or how to make something.

Any suggestions?

Coburn tracking.

Bifold track is another possible option.

Hang em off a length of 15mm copper pipe?
Use standoffs to hold the pipes, and clamps (not fully tightened) as the slides.

unistrut and the little wheel cart things that fit into it.

try googling unistrut track and see what that finds.

Ooh.
I just remembered how I did it in the past.
Top hat electric switch gear rail.
And some cheap v-bearings off the bay.

It was suggested by a YouTube video about make a sliding table for a router table or table saw. (I think - might have been for a poor man's CNC linear bearing.)
No link, I'm afraid

Unless you find someone giving one away on gumtree...

Like this one in "Shirley" which is apparently 21.3 miles from Kidderminster:
