Hi, about this phrase: "raise able sidewalls"

Does it mean that the walls could be heightened?


thank you so much

Hi This suggests to me 'raisable sidewalls'. For example, a garden structure such as a greenhouse might have walls made of strong but flexible polythene, attached to rollers in the roof In bad weather, the walls are in place, providing an enclosed, protected space However, in good weather, the walls can be rolled up, so that the space from ground to roof is open to the air In such a case, the walls aren't heightened: they can be raised when the user does not want or need them in place Dave
