We don't have one. A relative had one but it reduced the amount of vertical door clearance by a few inches which prevented them from pulling their SUV into the garage. For that reason, they remove the screen. I would also watch for the horizontal clearance.
You may want to consider a garage fan instead that is installed in the garage ceiling that sucks air from the garage into the attack. We have one of these but the previous owner did not put it on a switch so I have to get on a step stool to plug it in when I want to use it. There are two small screened vents in the garage door to allow for air intake. The fan does move quite a bit of air.
