What size should the storage pocket be?

Depth of pocket should reflect the amount of stacking of the grille. The minimum stacking is calculated as follows:  1 1/4" (32mm) per linear foot of closure + 3 1/4" (83mm) for each vertical member nos. 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 7 1/2" (190mm) for nos. 3 and 4.  Width of pocket should be a minimum of 9", with track on center.
