Just a friendly FYI,
garage doors and overhead screen doors DO operated manually, without the need of electricity ;}

We put the sliding doors in. Last night I put them in the garbage. My wife 4 times, just gets in the car or golf car and backs out into them and knocks them out of the track and runs over them. I could not repair them any more. Course my wife has backed the car out of the garage and run into the plants around the light in the front yard and knocked the mirror off the car twice on the garage door. It is a wonder she has not knocked the garage door out.

Thumper installed ours too. Love it. You can see everything that is going on outside and no one can see you inside. We have never had a slider so I cannot comment, but I am sure both styles are excellent - it's really what you get used to!

Just for
my own safety... What kind and color car does she drive?

Maybe an Army surplus tank or a Cat D-9 would better suit her driving habits!

Thank you for the link. It looks great.

Garage Door Screens

Just wanted to tell everyone how great the guy's from Cool Breeze did installing my garage door screen. They were very professional and timely. The price was very good too. I highly recommend the guy's....call them at 1-888-896-8935 and give them a shot......also e-mail DGLASS9@VERIZON.NET

Quick question concerning Thumper's doors... when you leave, is it a one button push to raise the screen door and close the garage door or do you have to wait until the screen is up and then push another button to lower the solid door?

We just recently had a manual overhead screen installed...no motor to worry about. Has its own tracks installed below the "normal" track for the door. What makes it unique though is the fact that it has a retractable screen built into the middle of it. It has the convenience of a slider for going in and out, while it doesn't have the slider tracks that can be such a hassle if you run over them, nor the problem of being on the "wrong" side Provides a great breezeway with plenty of privacy. Bought it from a vendor at Markets of Marion. Price was about $1200. Absolutely love it!

we have the slide screen garage doors. they are great. we get a great breeze and no snakes or bugs. we choose sliders because when we leave through the garage we just have to slide on door over and slide it back. with overhead type you have to open the whole door to go out or in. pain if your working outside and want to go in and out. also sliders are alot cheaper. got them after neighbors keep getting snakes in garage.

They have a unique design in how the screen is attached allowing the screen to break away without damaging the components should some one back through it.

And yes it happens much more than most would admit. Putting the screen back in it's track is easy to do.

$2700 for standard two car garage opening.

There are many things I would go without before ever giving up the garage screen. It can not be beat for keeping the garage cooler on the beastly hot summer days. And it is a delight to "open" the house the rest of the year.

PS I looked at both slider and overhead......chose overhead even though more expensive.....to me the overhead is much more functional and convenient.

Do you have the contact information for the Skeeter Beeter installers in this area. I tried to Google them without success

We have the overhead screen door by Thumper. A great investment. It will work manually if you lose power as well. Thumper was great to work with. The screen and garage door each have their own controls. We have been very pleased.

A neighbor on the next street over has this. It's the best of both worlds. They have a small design on either side of the retractable screen--male & female golfer forms.
