Need help positioning linear actuators to a bi-fold window shutter model

Oh, I know. And I appreciate the input. It is best when several minds tackle the same problem, because each one sees a different solution.

I did look at those commercial covers in 2011 when we bought this home. They are 'Spensive, Lucy! I have considered a good fence around the property, but I do like the open Kentucky countryside look, so no fence.

I know there are many options, but I am trying to learn SketchUp, and I really want to build them myself, rather than resort to a commercial installer. Thanks Dan, for pointing me toward those concepts!
