Has anyone used sliding panels? If so I would like to know how you rigged them. Mine will be 8' x 7'.

Thanks

Depends on what you have to work with. Did them once when I suspended them from the curtain rail. Used various types of tracks as well. usually just 2x2, top and bottom. (depends on if you have a top) about to do one with the rails built in to the floor and top.

need to know if these panels are installed in a wall, if you can install a track completely across the travel area, if they are solid or have cutouts, what they need to do, etc.
