Garage Door Screen! How Did I Just Find Out About This!?!

[weather man]

Got a flyer in the mail. Can't believe I didn't know about this. Every summer I have been dousing myself with OFF to work in the man shed after twilight.

 

[stkjock]

that's cool, too bad I don't have a big enough garage to make use of that.

Almost certain I am putting that on the shed. The horse flies get bad first, then the skeeters. Horse flies take a chunk right out of you.

Aghh horse flys are crazy painful!

On a side note I think that is a pretty awesome idea, but it'd be funny if someone didn't see that and drove straight in!

Damn that is pretty badass. Never seen that either. How much are they?

 

[Wes06]

Fuck all manor of flying shit that bites you.
This is so awesome, why didn't I think about it first?!?

 

[Mike K]

That would be nice at home. There are a few companies I pick up and deliver to that has these on their dock doors and they are nice.

 

[19COBRA93]

I'm definitely interested in that.

16x8 is $1,095 installed. Subtract $100, if no door.

 

[Wes06]

hell for 1100, might as well add in the door just for convenience.
still pretty neat

Depends on how well they seal at the edges. I don't know how they would be able to seal around the top since there is a gap between the open garage door and door frame, and the screen is inside the garage door.

I used to have mosquitoes bad in my garage. They would come out from behind the shelves and under the garbage can. The tiger stripe mosquitoes that you can't feel biting you but draw welts that hurt for days. I hated working in my garage! I bought one of those little $20 bug zapper lights from Home Depot and have left it on in my garage for the last year. I put a bucket under it to catch all the dead carcasses and I think I've been bit once since getting it.

Amazon has less fancy ones, this is 18 bucks.

I went the obsessive way, installed a Samsung heating and cooling unit, just keep the door closed and turn on the air or heat. My cars are very spoiled!

Linky?

 

[TGR96]

Oh yeah, I want one!

 

[NastyStang113]

Man these things are all over Florida. Unless it's brand new, I've never seen one that was in good shape over any sort of time. I don't know what these people do with them though.

Probably cost just a little more than this stupid screen too.

People probably forget they are down and drive in to them...

The fatality for those doors in FL has got to be pretty high. I lived in a retirement community for a few years with my folks. Our elderly downstairs neighbor would start his Chrysler up and hold it floored wide open. He had no hearing and it was the only way he could tell it was running. Since it was right under my bedroom, woke me up every damn time!

The local garage door store had one set up on the showroom floor. Seems a well made product. It has magnets on the top of the door that pull it tight to the header. It lies right against the garage door weather seal on the sides and has a weather seal on the bottom. It also has a fuzzy bristle strip on the sides and top. A bug is gonna have to try hard to get in.

Decided to buy and have installed. I'll post up some pic's when it is in.

I had the system for about 2 years and it was about 2100 bucks, the beauty of it is that it is year round comfort, as hot or cold as I want and is very quiet.
the systme is just like the Mitsubishi wall mount A/c units u see advertised on tv except it is a samsung. The compressor/heat pump is outside so it doesn't take up much room.

like any of us have a garage that clean
