Thank you again!Posted on Dick Hale The vertical sliders that Mr. Build installed on our lanai have survived Ian, Debby, Helene and Milton without a problem.

Eight of these sliders were upstairs and took some magic to remove the old sliders and elevate the new doors to the second floor. They took care of the furnishings without.
