A lift wall for covering a large opening between an indoor and outdoor space, such as a veranda or lanai. The lift wall comprises several vertically arranged panels that are at least partially transparent. Each of the panels is mounted in in a vertical side channel for movement between a closed position and an opening position.

In the open position, the panels are positioned in side-by-side stacked arrangement, which may be at the top or the bottom of the opening. Top stacking is ideal for spaces where foot traffic traverses the threshold of the opening. Bottom stacking is advantageous for upper levels; the stacked panels provide a safety railing while not obscuring the view. A mesh screen panel may be added for use when the panels are retracted.
