Need help naming/finding something to stabilize two of these together at a distance of between 6"-12" apart.
(lemmy.world)
Like the title, I have a small DIY project where I’m going to put a gerbil tunnel system connecting two of the enclosures in the image together. Because the transparent window is thin clear plastic they aren’t really strong enough to handle any force at where the tunnels will connect to the windows.
So, I want to put stabilizing bars connecting both enclosures together at their frame. I’m thinking like a 1”x1” hard plastic bar, that’s 6”-12” long, at the corners of the window that lock into square plates that have three sides lifted (“c” style) to slot and lock the bar into. I don’t know what this would be called. Idk where I would find it. But, this seems like something I’ve seen before and should exist.
Does anything come to mind?
Maybe a closet rod holder and you could get a closet rod and cut to size? Unless I'm thinking of something completely different from youre describing

This is similar to what I had in mind, but rectangular instead of cylindrical, and that had a lip on the ends of the bar that slotted and locked into “C” plates on both ends.
But, unistrut bars across the backs of the cabinets also might do the trick, instead of bars in between.
