Our bedroom has a 8ft sliding door. When I bought the house I had fabric
vertical blinds installed but with pets that was not the best choice. It
seems like a 8ft pull is a long way to pull blinds. Is there a way you can
put up a "dummy" curtain or anything to cover half of the opening and then
have blinds for the rest of it. Lets say a 4ft dummy something and then a
4ft blinds. My other question is can you get wooden blinds, vertical in 8ft
sizes or would that be too heavy? Thanks.
