I⿿m impatient for summer to arrive. I miss the warmth of the sun and grilling outdoors. But along with such blissful signs of summer come the bugs.
A screen door will keep the little critters out of your home, even as you let fresh air in. Better yet, install one of these hanging screens. They⿿re easy to use and allows you to walk through hands-free.
This is the Instant Door Screen, a removable walk-thru patio-door screen. Available through
ImprovementsCatalog.com. Features:
Flexible fiberglass mesh Instant Door Screen attaches easily without tools near the top of your door frame with an easy-up tension rod and is held in place on the sides with Velcro®. Removes just as easily, leaving no holes or damage on the door frame. Walk right through it easily, even if your hands are full-just push your way through the center slit; closes automatically with two magnetic fasteners. Top has two sleeves for the rod: at 80⿿ height for standard doors, and also at 78⿿. The 60⿳ and 72⿳ screens open off-center, and are reversible, for people who usually open only one French door. Available in six sizes: 30⿳, 32⿳, 36⿳, 48⿳, 60⿳ or 72⿳.
This Drop-Down Screen, made of a cotton blend. Available through
ImprovementsCatalog.com and
Amazon.com
(aff). Features:
Flexible Drop-Down Screen attaches with hook and loop strips to the top of a standard 36⿳ wide door frame and is held down with the weighted bottom trim. Drop-Down Screen⿿s cloth grab handle makes it easy to go through the doorway. The Drop-Down Screen goes up in seconds, comes down in seconds, and folds to the size of a magazine.
I like the fact that these screens are not permanent installations. They⿿re great for parties (open house, anyone?) where people are constantly walking in and out of the house.
