The posts are generally placed one tatami-length (about 1.82 metres (6.0 ft)) apart, and the shoji slide in two parallel wood-groove tracks between them. [8] In modern construction, the shoji often do not form the exterior surface of the building; they sit inside a sliding glass door or window. [5]
