would someone please telll us how wide these are? That should be in the specs!!!!

Sorry for the angst but you'e right. Full height vertical blinds are nominally sized to fit outside a typical, as in 72" wide, sliding glass door. They are an inexpensive way to cover a large, inexpensive opening in an exterior wall. The overall width will be on the order of 74 - 76 inches. Again, these hang outside the opening. This provides flexibility. Hope this helps.
