I used this sliding screen from Lowes and it works great. 2 small openings on the bottom but I blocked them with white tape. Took me 20 minutes to install once I realized the wheels sat ON the track and not IN the track. There is a video online detailing the install.

Last year "screen companies" wanted $300-$400 to do the same thing for me.
So this works with the lani sliding glass doors that both open away from each other? It is just sitting on the tracks and does not attach to anything? In essence covers the opening? What do you do with the door when you close the doors?
