The more popular of the two sliding glass door shutter layouts is the bypass configuration. In this setup, multiple shutter panels slide on a track mounted above the door. The shutter panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for access to the door. Or if the sliding door has room to the side, the track can extend past the door to allow the shutter panel to completely slide to the side.
