I never thought about this before, but here's my two cents...

This could be done for next to nothing. Find a scrap of cardboard and cut out an image to make a stencil. Spray a light coat of paint in a color that contrasts with the color of the screen. This might only need to be done on the inside of the screen. From what I've been reading, the problem seems to occur most often when exiting.

I have no idea how well this will work, but YOU can test it and get back to me

As the other poster said, it only works if you LOOK first. There are 3 decals already on the screen. Michele's put them on when they installed it just for that purpose. Ya still gotta look. Could be worse tho, I guess. The couple that used to live next door did the same thing....only it was the garage door that she hit. Really costly....had to replace the door. He was not exactly a happy camper.

Same day...it doesn't get any better than that. He may or may not be able to finish the repair today but will at least get it where we can get the vehicles out of the garage.

Will update you after the repairs are done and the bill is paid.

Suggest "Hubby" back golf cart into garage, will see screen when he drives out.

Thanks. As of today, that's exactly what he does....again. I had him doing that after the last incident, but then it gradually got back to front first. That will most likely be the one solution that works. Now, if I just remember to back the darn thing in when I take it.

Based in part on feedback received on this site we decided to have Michele's install a motorized roll-up screen on the garage. Best decision we could have made! Screen was installed today and Jack, the installer, did an outstanding job. Highly professional and took a lot of care in the entire process. Highly recommend this company.

We also used Michele's Screens. Had double front door screens on our first house (a grand ficus) and liked their work so much, we used them again when we bought on the south side. We got the heavier duty screening with a "hem" at the bottom so it is thicker and stays in the track nicer. We wouldn't consider anyone but Michele's.
