Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Sliding door, stacker door size 3Jun 06, 2021 5:00 pm Spazzen I'm putting a 6m stacker in my new build. Cost 5.5k less the sliding door and windows I was credited. No extra support is better added, only single story though so a two story building might be different. Got quotes for a 9m stacker at 16k and decided against spending 10k more for 3 extra metres. I'd also check the panel sizes some 6 metre doors were 4 panel which looks nicer but you only get a 3m opening, I went with a 6 panel door, 2 extra frames but I get a 4m opening. 5.5k is very reasonable. I think I will go ahead and put a 5m door in. I think it will be something I will regret not doing later on.

Our opening is 7m. 2 panels that slide back to a 3rd panel at either end (ie. 6 panels in total). Have paid an extra 5k on top of the standard doors. Already had beams in place due to supporting the 2nd level so no extra cost there. 100% worth it from a lifestyle and resale perspective.

The extrusions are manufactured as 6m standard, The height is also important. We could make 7.2m wide... just have not done it yet.
