Garage Screen Door

The garage screen door has the ability to turn your entire garage into a screened-in porch. The garage screen is simple to install and can be removed when not in use. This is a great benefit in cold climates where the winter weather can quickly ruin a traditional screen porch.

Garage screens come in a few different styles. Most rely on a velcro strip that is attached in the garage door frame. This strip remains in place and does not interfere with the operation of the garage door. To install the screen, the garage door is fully opened and is hung from the velcro strip all around the opening in a short period of time. Weights sewn into the bottom of the screen keep the screen cloth smooth and taught. Simple flap doors allow people to pass through the screen while still keeping the bugs out.

Other styles of garage screen are designed to be retractable like a huge window blind. A roller is installed just above the existing garage door, and the screen drops down between the garage door tracks and the inside wall. These can even be motorized just like the garage door. At this point the garage screen is becoming almost as expensive as the garage door itself.

The screens can even be custom printed with the stars and stripes, marine corps emblems as a great way to show your patriotism. Sure beats painting the garage door.

With the screen installed your garage becomes a new barbecue area, a porch to relax on or a safe play area for your children. The screen also allows the garage to be used as a work area late into the night without fear of mosquitoes interfering with painting, staining or hobby projects
