I know this is an old thread but I am finally in the market for a SLIDER (not roll-up) garage screen for reasons discussed earlier in this thread. Our construction is finally over but the question I have for you is "WHAT NOISE DOES A SLIDER MAKE every time your neighbor 5 houses away goes into his driveway?" Maybe I am confused. There is no motor. I used a slider during a 2 month rental and drove in/out many times and there was absolutely no noise other than the barely audible "swoosh" when you pulled it opened or closed. I can't imagine any motorized screen making LESS noise than that. Maybe his bottom rail was loose and it rattled when he drove over it?
