Single slide is a good fit when you want the full opening clear on one side, or when your access point naturally favors sliding in one direction or for smaller applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much side room do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan for roughly 1.5\" of side room per foot of opening width, since the screen bunches as it opens.
