pet screen door - Fritz - 05-18-2017

I have just had our old pella wood sliding door frame repaired and I'm about to rescreen.
I'd really like to not cut another pet door into the screen.
Anyone have an alterative they're happy with that isn't insanely expensive?

This is the idea.


except it's probably more $ than a new whole door.

I built that out of spare parts and it was perfect!

A single panel of this fake fencing fit PERFECTLY - there was a bunch of it lying around the property.

Like this?



Re: pet screen door - Fritz - 05-18-2017

yes, but a bit pricey and I'd rather not have glass in it, just screen.


Re: pet screen door - Fritz - 05-18-2017

seems like this is the best bet for a cut in, which, as I said, I'd rather not do.

cats don't like the overhead hinge. Trapezoidal shape apparently closes better.
Still cheaply made, from what reviews say.
oh well.

What about one of these magnetic, weighted fiberglass screens. $30
