Screen Time
Have you ever been outside, enjoying a drink or two with the neighbours in your backyard, when the rain starts to fall, ruining your spring soiree? Everybody scatters and runs back home, or the party has to be moved inside the house.
That’s no fun.
How about the luxury of a garage screen door? A garage screen door lets you keep the party going; it provides protection from the rain and still offers the fresh air that goes with it.
This popular retractable option gives you the best of both worlds. Sit outside and soak in the sun, and when you’re ready for a bit of shade, retreat to the garage for a cool contrast.
The screen actually attaches to your existing garage door and can either slide down or to the side. When you’re done for the day, all you have to do is slide the screen back up – or sideways – and shut the garage door back down.
Most garage screen doors have a retractable roll-up passage door that allows you to enter and exit your garage without having to put up the entire screen.
Garage screen doors are an affordable option to establishing an outdoor area that everyone can enjoy. A professional garage door installer, such as Kangaroo Garage Doors, can even put it up for you, saving you the hassle of trying to put it up yourself.
Party On
A garage screen is a practical way to create a space indoors, while still enjoying the benefits of the outdoors. There are many advantages to having a screen on your garage:
- Create the ideal man-cave and escape the everyday distractions to relax
- Low maintenance front (or back) porch – minimal set-up required!
- Take shelter from the rain. Keep the party going and gather everybody indoors
- Get out of the house and enjoy the mosquito free, summer breeze
- Hold your next garage sale in the comfort of your garage
- Exercise in the comfort of your very own cool gym
- Gather the family for a game of shuffleboard, away from the elements
- Enjoy your hobbies and keep the pests out
Commercial
Garage screen doors are also used in commercial warehouses. They’re a great option to providing ventilation throughout the warehouse, overall pest control, as well as maintaining security. These screen doors usually work in conjunction with the existing dock doors.
The Verdict
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a relaxing retreat? A place you can put up your feet and enjoy the outdoors, without the hassle of mosquitoes, wasps, and other insects. A hideaway where you can sit back, relax and stay out of the wind, rain and the sun’s harmful UV rays.
You can have all of this and more with your very own garage screen door. The screen gives you privacy from any prying neighbours and can even be designed to blend in with the existing garage or structure! Create a whole new outdoor living space that brings the cool breeze in and the elements out.
I have always had a screen door on my back door. Although, I have never heard of putting up a garage screen door! I think I will have to try to do that for my house one day! Thanks for the cool idea!
Is there a rough cost range for a garage screen door? (say, for a regular two car garage)
Does it have any height requirements to install?
Thanks for the info.
