Garage Screen Doors
Fresh air without the bugs
A garage screen door transforms underused space into a versatile extension of your home. Whether you want a bug-free workshop, an open-air gym, or a shaded place to relax on warm evenings — screens make it possible without sacrificing your garage door functionality.
Key Benefits
The most versatile garage screen on the planet. A patented, fully spring-loaded garage door screen that works with your existing garage door — no electric motor required.
How It Works
The Lifestyle Screen system runs on maintenance-free tracks similar to your garage door system. A spring-loaded counter-balance mechanism makes the screen effortless to raise and lower — no electric opener needed. Simply pull the screen down to use, push up to store.
The frame is built from 2" x 2" architectural-grade aluminum with a wet-painted shell finish for lasting durability. Unlike hook-and-loop or Velcro-mounted alternatives, this is a permanent, professional system that operates smoothly season after season.
An optional door-within-a-door design lets you walk in and out without raising the entire screen — convenient for quick trips to the mailbox or letting the dog out.

Screen Mesh Options
Standard Fiberglass
18 x 14 Weave — Charcoal
The same proven mesh used in residential window screens. Optimized for maximum airflow at 58% open area. Ideal for ventilation-focused applications like workshops and home gyms.
PVC-Coated Polyester
17 x 20 Weave — Charcoal
Maximum durability and pet resistance. The tighter 17x20 weave provides 48% airflow while standing up to claws, paws, and daily wear. The most popular upgrade for homes with pets.
PVC-Coated Polyester
17 x 20 Weave — White
Same durability and pet resistance as the charcoal version, with added privacy. The white mesh creates a closed, uniform appearance from the street — ideal for HOA communities that require a neat garage facade.

FAQ
What types of garage screens do you offer?
Retractable motorized screens, manual roll-up screens, and fixed panel systems. All custom-measured to your garage opening.
Can I still use my garage door with a screen installed?
Absolutely. Retractable screens roll up completely out of the way when not in use, so your garage door operates normally. You typically lose no more than 1.75 inches of clearance.
How long does installation take?
Single-car: 2–3 hours. Double-car: 3–4 hours. Most installations are completed in a single visit.
Are garage screens durable?
Yes. Commercial-grade mesh resists tears, UV damage, and pet claws. Powder-coated aluminum frames for long-term durability.
What sizes are available?
Lifestyle Screens come in widths from 6 to 18 feet and heights from 7 to 10 feet. Heights of 9–10 feet are available up to 16 feet wide. Custom sizes can be built from existing kits.
What screen mesh options are available?
Two primary options: standard fiberglass in an 18x14 weave (58% airflow, best for ventilation) and PVC-coated polyester in a 17x20 weave (48% airflow, maximum durability and pet resistance). Both available in charcoal; PVC also available in white.
Does Lifestyle Screens offer a warranty?
Yes. Lifestyle Screens includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering defects in material and workmanship for the life of original ownership. Coverage is limited to parts — installer workmanship is covered separately under our TNGD labor warranty.
