If you have a sliding glass door you must not only think of security measures against burglars, but also of measures against all kinds of insects and bugs, like mosquitoes or flies.

Depending on how much you are willing to invest there are a lot of screen types out there you can choose from.

The first option is to make your own screen door. For this you have to buy a frame, accordingly to the measures of the door, a roll of screen material and some screws. After you fit the screen on the frame just remove the extra material with a razor. Now, put your new screen on the tracks, fix it there with some screws and you’re all done.

Second option is to go to your door’s manufacturer and buy a screen from there. This might be the best way because you will know for sure the screen will fit your door perfectly. Another advantage to buy from the manufacturer is that you’ll most likely find a screen door that will match the color of your sliding glass door
