Default Can you add a sliding screen door to your lanai?

I have a sliding glass door from the house to my lanai. However, there is no sliding screen door so when I open the glass door to get a breeze, there is nothing to keep bugs, lizards, frogs, etc., out of the house. Since I don't want these inside the house, I cannot leave the lanai door open. I was thinking of adding a sliding screen door but have not found anyone that can do it. There is no track for a screen door. I talked to Home Depot and they said it can't be done unless I replace the entire doorway - which would involve removing a stationary glass door; a sliding glass door; and all of the framework. I talked to T&D Screen Enclosures and they say that it can be done but that they don't do it (and don't know anyone who can). Has anyone added a sliding screen door to their lanai? If so, do you have any recommendations? Was it complicated? Thanks.
