Default Several Suggestions

1. Do not buy any screen door that is rolled up and down like the shades because if the power is down you cannot get it rolled up (no emergency method!)

2. Do not buy screen door insulation - not effective!

3. Do not assume the screen door is "Solar effective" - no matter the garage always gets hot. It may be worth to have the solar fan above the garage to cool the attic, however, I put a block on the attic stairway to allow more from the garage area to the attic.

4. I have compared with several vendors - chose the Thumper Cook's retractable screen doors. So compare the pros and cons of all merchants and choose you feel worth your money as well as effectiveness.
