Hi All - appreciate any help. Wife said "go work on your son's shower" (he's 16 - I avoid his bathroom). Then she says, "Hey, I hate dealing with his moldy shower curtain. Why don't you hang some shower doors?"
In the photo "shower-tub", you can see I've got a raised ledge at the back end about 12 inches deep. The tub length up to the ledge is the usual 59.5 inches.
If I try to use a standard cheap framed sliders, I'll have to leave that ledge space open at the back, and won't have wall to secure the vertical side post part of the frame on that end. I've looked at all the posts here discussing shower doors and probably 500 images on Home Depot and Amazon thinking maybe I'd find things of a regular width plus having another panel like a sidelight on a home's front door, but no luck.
Any thoughts on how to fill this gap? Or if I left it open and just skipped the left-hand vertical, would that work? (I suspect it'd be too unstable.)
Another option might be to get a glass shop to custom cut around the ledge, like in the second photo "customcut", but I assume that'll cost a lot more than getting a $400 pre-fab set from HD.
Thanks if anyone has any ideas.
