Your garage takes up a major portion of your home's facade and floor space. While many homeowners use this area only for car storage, with the right modifications – such as the addition of a Lifestyle® screen garage door – you can create a comfortable, useful room. These screens cover the entire opening of your garage. They include a smaller doorway set into the main screen for easy access, and can swing up out of the way. Use your Lifestyle screen garage door to improve your access to fresh air and create one of the following rooms.

How to Use a Lifestyle Screen Garage Door

1. Workshop

Many activities like painting, woodworking, and car repair need a well-ventilated space to avoid problems with fumes. A screen garage door provides plenty of ventilation while still keeping you protected from the elements.

2. Home Gym

Your garage can be the perfect place to set up so you can get fit. Screen garage door installation means you'll have light and fresh air while you work out while limiting insects. Hang a training bag from the ceiling, add a bench with a weight rack, and include a minifridge for water to complete your room. 

4. Pet Play Area

To let your dog or cat get some exercise without risking escape, let them into your garage. A screen door ensures this area will be comfortable and filled with fresh air. Having a view of the outdoors will also provide your pet with stimulation without the danger of wandering. Include a food and water bowl, a crate, and a comfy bed for this upgraded dog house. 

4. Screened Porch

If you want a place to relax, all you need is a few comfortable chairs or a porch swing. Like a screened porch, the garage door will keep out bugs and grant a little privacy, while allowing you fresh air and a pleasant view of the outdoors.

5. Smoking Den

The garage is the perfect place to enjoy cigars with friends. With a screen door, the area will be well-ventilated. Unlike the plush upholstery and thick carpets of your home’s interior, the garage is less prone to absorbing odors or discoloration. You can go casual with a few beach chairs and a freestanding cabinet, or more upscale with leather couches and a humidor.
