Talking Garage screens--purpose?

Besides people who work in their garage with hobbies or hang out waiting to visit with their neighbor's in a bug free environment, why would you have a garage door screen?

If your garage has no window, there is no way besides a screen door to get air and light into the area. Bug free anyway.

Our garage screens are great - opens the garage to the world and keeps the unwanted things out.

When we were working the garage door was always closed so you didn't need screens. Now the screens allow the garage door to be open most of the time.

With the reflective screens nobody can see in the garage.

In the cooler weather, we can open the house with a great breeze coming through the garage. Screen closed, of course. Also, in the summer, we crack the attic stairs and the air flow through the garage will help cool the attic by a couple of degrees.

Keeps the garage more temperature consistent, lets more light in, and ventilation for the house is better. Plus it lets our cat, Jake, keep an eye on who is in our driveway and our neighborhood.

Not only improves air flow and bug free. It also keeps the snakes from coming in. Love our garage screens

I second that on the snakes. They will explore your garage if given entry. I don't like snakes!

We like the screen as it is another security to keep the doggie corralled into not running after a squirrel , etc.....we can open the door to the garage and we do not have to worry about her getting out.

Ditto That !!!

I'm forever telling my wife to close the snake screens!
(only ever seen black racers but you can't be too careful when it comes to snakes in the garage or elsewhere)
Didn't have snakes on the south side of Chicago when I was a kid.
