patio door < patio  |  pavilion >  

A patio door is a sliding or folding glass door that leads to a patio, deck, or garden.

Generally they consist of a large area of glass which provides a lot of light in winter, and which can be slid or folded completely out of the way in summer to create an open-sided room similar to a loggia.
