Garage screen decals
 
Hello TOTVers! Both my DH and I have backed through our garage screen door on a few occasions. We have the kind that rolls up into itself, not slides from side to side. I'm looking to put some type of decal or decoration on it now. What would work on our type of screen? I would think sticker types would not roll up so well. I would also think magnet types wouldn't work. I was wondering if spray painting stencils might do the trick? Thanks in advance!

Michele's Hide away told us if we paint the screen or frame to match our house, it would VOID our warranty, you might want to check with them first.

Thanks! That's who we got ours from. It would be worth a call to ask them their recommendations.

How about a Garage Door Monitor? Lets you know when the door is open or closed. There are several on line. Check Lowes or HD.

Why not try tying some brightly colored yarn to the inside of the screen. You could use regular thread to tie the yarn to the screen, and I doubt this would void a warranty.

IMHO painting a design would not work, you are looking from a dark area generally into the light area (outside), so you would actually not be able to see the design. The yarn should be visible under virtually all lighting conditions.
Hope this helps.

Maybe try a little sign on the wall or shelf in front of you when get into your car saying something to remind you to check the screen.

You can use thin cling vinyl decals that will roll with the screen.
