We have an old sliding door roughly 6 meters long from our living to alfresco, what are our options for replacing this door?

Generally there are three options:

Stacker doors are your general slider which comes in 3-6 panels depending on the opening size. It is a cost effective solution and gives you a big opening, however the tracks holding the doors are wide and may not fit the depth of the wall.

Centre opening 4 panel sliders is another cost effective solution and also have minimal track width. Their only drawback is that they do not provide as much opening as other options.

Bi-fold doors are very fashionable and provide the greatest opening with minimal track width. The drawback is the cost and is difficult to install flyscreens.
