Mabey two pocket doors . John

I was thinking of doing the very same thing. I have looked at Phanthom screen doors and Roll-Away screen doors. I'm thinking of going with Roll-Away, using double doors I can have 8' openings.

Here is what it says on the Roll-Away site FAQ section on door sizes:

What are the maximum dimensions both width and height of your doors?

Single doors - 48" width x 96" height
French doors  96" width x 96" height (two pair of doors 48" w x 96"h)

(Note: Single doors up to 60" x l20" and French doors up to l20" x 120" may be fabricated but will not be covered under our standard warranty.)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
My current plan is to have 3 sections at the front of the patio, each with an 8" opening. I'm not sure how clear this will be but my setup will be something like this:

......x------x
..../..............\
.../.................\
.x...................x

Ignore the dots, they were just so the image would space correctly.

The x represents a post
The --- and / and \ are the screens.

I want to do the same thing and found this post by search.
I was looking at the link when I had a different idea. Not sure I like it like but my mother's cousing had a garage door opening with a screen door that worked like a garage door. He used his 36" door for everyday walking in and out and set up one side of his garage as an indoor living space (sink, stove, patio furniture). When he needed to move stuff in and out etc. he rolled up the "garage" screen door. Hm.
