Backyard glass portal
A patio door is a large glass door, typically sliding or hinged, that opens onto a patio, deck, or backyard.
The design maximizes natural light and provides easy access to outdoor living spaces: We watched the kids play in the yard through the patio door.
Most patio doors slide horizontally on tracks, though French-style versions swing open.
