Is a Garage Screen Door Worth It?

With such beautiful weather in Florida, it’s common for folks to leave front doors or sliding doors open to let in some fresh air IF they have screen doors.  Without those screens, it’s like sending a written invitation to every flying bug in Florida to come inside for a visit!  No, thank you anyway!  But what about your garage?  Should you get a screen door, also known as a garage door bug screen, for your garage?

Tripod Aluminum offers high-quality garage screens to enable you to utilize your garage while maintaining privacy and keeping out pests.  Imagine getting to spend time in your garage without mosquito bites!  It sounds like a fairy tale, but it’s true!  Tripod Aluminum’s garage screens are not the flimsy screens that velcro to your garage frame.  It’s a whole new era of garage screen doors!

What Are Garage Door Bug Screens?

Tripod Aluminum’s garage door bug screens are made of strong fine mesh fiberglass.  They come in retractable, roll-up, or sliding options.  We also offer motorized screens for ease of operation.  They allow you to see out, but others can’t see in offering desirable privacy. 

These screens allow you to work or lounge in your garage while maintaining airflow, visibility, and natural sunlight.  They also keep out pests!  This is huge as mosquitoes, snakes, lizards, flies, and a variety of other wildlife will happily enter your garage if given the opportunity.  Don’t let them!

What Are the Benefits of A Garage Screen?

  • Privacy – whether using your garage as a man cave, a craft room, or a home gym, you don’t want everyone walking their dog or riding their bike to have a clear view of your personal activities.  Garage screens give you clear visibility while maintaining your privacy.
  • Pest Protection – As mentioned, the screens will keep pests out of your garage.  This is especially important because mosquitoes often carry diseases, such as West Nile Virus.
  • Keep Cool – The ventilation provided by opening your garage door will make your garage much more comfortable.  If you add a large fan, it will help circulate the air to make it a more enjoyable environment.
  • Versatility – Our garage screens are customizable to fit your garage.  We also offer a variety of colors for the screens as well as the frames so you can choose a color scheme that blends well with the exterior of your home.  Again, this is a far cry from a flimsy black velcro screen!

How Can You Utilize Your Garage Space?

Maybe up until now, your garage has been used mainly as a storage space.  That’s fine, but there are a lot of other great ways to utilize your garage space too. 

  • Man Cave or She Shed – Whether you want a big screen TV and recliners, a potting table, or a quilting space, a garage can fit your needs.
  • Home Gym – A lot of people are uncomfortable working out in the gym with others around. They may dislike the noise or be self-conscious.  A home gym is a great alternative.  But, not everyone has an extra room to dedicate to workout equipment.  The garage is a great space for a home gym.
  • Play Space – The garage can be used for extra play space for little or big kids!  The weather here in Florida – lots of rain and high humidity – takes its toll on anything left outside.  The garage can be the perfect spot for a pool table, foosball table, or ping pong table!  It can also be a great space for a play kitchen or ball pit for little ones.  Of course, little ones should be supervised as a screen will not keep them inside!

Depending on the size of your garage, you may be able to create multiple spaces.  If you have a 2 or 3-car garage, you may be able to fit a TV and recliner, a workout station, and a foosball table.  With a little creativity, your garage is a great space, especially with a premier screen door.

So, Are Garage Screens Worth It?

Garage door bug screens are absolutely worth it!  With the expansion of your living space, you can free up areas in your home or backyard.  You can even use it for things you never thought you would have room for in your current home.

With a variety of options and customizable fit, our garage screens are available forevery home.  Offering privacy, pest protection, a cooler garage, and versatility, they are a low-cost investment with a big return!

A space that once contained dusty cardboard boxes and bins can now house a man/woman space, a home gym, or a play space.  With the right amount of creativity, you might even have a space for everyone!

Tripod Aluminum, located in Melbourne FL offers garage door bug screens, pool enclosures, and screen enclosures to help enhance all garage and outdoor living spaces.  Outdoor living is a huge part of the Florida lifestyle, and Tripod Aluminum is excited to help make it happen for you and your family!
