Hi,
My next project is to make some horizontal sliding windows to close in our verandah in winter, and also to make a matching half-glazed door. I've been looking around for information on how to do it and have drawn (not quite, but very close to a) blank. Any recommendations most welcome.
I need to understand the design principles so that it doesn't look clumsy/disproportionate.
I also need to know how they'd be constructed.
- what joints to use where, etc...
- how to weatherproof them (for example to stop water getting into the runners)
This book is on Amazon, which provides some of the information, but I suspect it's not the best suited.

Many thanks.
