Fego Sliding Garage Door Screen 9x7 ft

Overview

This is a sliding screen door for a 9 by 7 foot one-car garage opening, not a storm door despite its category placement. A top-mounted track lets the fiberglass mesh panel slide side to side, with a magnetic center seam that closes itself behind you.

The category listing files this under storm doors, but the product itself is a retractable garage screen, closer to a sliding curtain than a hinged door. Fiberglass mesh is pitched as more tear-resistant than the PET or polyester used in cheaper screens, and the 40-magnet center seam is meant to let people and pets pass through without holding it open. Installation is hook-and-loop strip plus push pins rather than anything permanent, which keeps it removable for the off season.

• 9ft x 7.15ft coverage for one-car garages
• Magnetic auto-close center seam
• Fiberglass mesh panel
• Retractable and removable for storage

Who it's for

Fits a one-car garage owner who wants airflow and bug control without keeping the garage door fully open, sized for openings up to 9 feet wide by 7 feet tall. Also usable on a patio, balcony or window opening of a similar size. Not a fit for a two-car garage or any opening larger than 9x7, since the panel is cut to that size.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The screen relies on a top track for the sliding motion and a magnetized center seam, roughly 40 magnets, to pull itself shut after someone walks through, which is what lets it work hands-free instead of needing to be pushed aside and let go. Fiberglass mesh is the wear-resistant part of the design, holding up to scratching and tearing better than PET or polyester alternatives while still passing airflow and light. A weighted, sleeved bottom keeps the panel hanging straight and reduces the gap at the floor.
