A more advanced garage door screen kit is the Retractable Garage Screen. It can be used for single and double garage doors, and can be operated manually or by a motor. It has a screen that rolls up into a housing which mounts across the top of the garage door on the outside of the house. It also has housing for tracks which run the length of both sides of the door. This special casing/housing looks very attractive from the outside and completely seals off the garage from bugs and other pests. The housing is less than 3″ wide. This great garage door screen can be left up year-round, eliminating the need to take it down each year. The housing and track come in four different powder-coated colors, with four different screen color options as well. This kit can be found online at Stoett.com.

Our favorite garage door screen kit is the Lifestyle. This is a fully-retractable screen door that works with your existing garage door. One special feature is the passage door which allows you to enter and exit without having to retract the entire screen. It uses a vertical and horizontal track system mounted directly underneath the existing garage door. It is spring-loaded and opens manually with a smooth, easy motion. This garage door screen kit can also be left up year-round and completely seals out bugs and pests. The frame comes in several color options as does the screen. It also features different screen coverage such as the ‘privacy screen’ and the ‘super screen’ which allow the air to flow through but keeps your privacy. These screens are more expensive, costing up to $1200, but are worth the investment if you spend a lot of time in your garage.
