Trellis Door Installation Photos: Patios, Entrances and Passages

Start with where the trellis will fold away. A patio slider needs a clear walk-through, a front door needs space for its handles and swing, and a narrow passage needs room to pass the folded gate. These installation photos show how the same folding design can fit very different openings.

These are examples from our Our Work and Latest Projects galleries.

Patio and sliding doors

Check the clear walking width when the trellis is folded back. Ask the installer to mark the track and stacking side before you order, especially if a sliding-door handle, wall return or step is in the way.

Front doors and double entrances

For a wide opening, ask where the leaves meet and how they lock. In the charcoal two-doorway photo, the left door locks at the centre join. Confirm the lock position for your own opening on the drawing or quote.

Passages, courtyard doors and workspaces

A trellis fitted in a narrow opening should leave room to pass when it is folded. Show the installer nearby switches, skirting and anything fixed to the wall on the stacking side.
