It is just a great patio beer drinking table with a great view:) I couldn't get a picture of the table and the view because I didn't have the room with just a camera phone but this is the view from the top of the patio with it:)

Hi hi North West, can you run your ducting in ceilings or floors? Thx

You can get slim range hoods that generally fit into the wall cabinets ours were approx 40cm deep which housed the complete operation, our plumber ran a 6 or so inch flexable ducting into the roof cavity and out under the eaves. Most brands make these. A photo would be helpful. https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/omega-52cm-undermount-rangehood-oru50x?CAWELAID=620013790000422290&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=21711678566&CATCI=pla-376401441757&gclid=CjwKCAjw0qLOBRBUEiwAMG5xMNN63iJr0n0Bnxf31-Gt0t5s0vERt_lOwOYkC6uzovf9TDWwawry9RoCgxQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CLOv9erawdYCFc0slgodE5oLHg Where we didn't have wall cabinets we had tall boxes of stainless look laminate built up to the ceiling which contained the extraction unit, which was approx 30-40cm's and extraction ducting cheers

I just hope your opening is wide enough for what you want. If you need to make it wider then you will also need to consult a structural engineer for a lintel design to span the wider opening before the builder starts. You may want to do your research on stacker and sliding doors first to find a manufacturer that you like and tell your builder the colour and the manufacturer before he quotes. Don't leave it to your builder to decide as he will just get the cheapest. Get a builder to quote if you are using aluminium doors. They have to be measured precisely and ordered by the builder (who takes a risk if he makes a mistake when measuring). Do your research so you know what you want, and how it works, rather than get your builder decide based on what is easiest and cheapest to install.
