HI, I need some help, I am designing a bi-fold shutter for a sliding glass door-inside mount- and I am having trouble calculating the deductions that I need to make for the panel sizes. Can anyone help me?

deductions for what? the hardware or mounting strips or what?

you're making 7 foot tall shutters to cover a sliding glass door? or are you using louvered closet doors?
