Retractable Screen for a VERY LARGE opening

4 years ago

I am trying to screen in an opening for a 170 x 97" sliding glass wall in my dining room. It is proving difficult even though the distributor I purchased the door from said he had something that would work well (spoiler alert! he didn't! and the only option he presented me was nearly twice as much as what he told me in the beginning).


So far the contenders are:

Wizard (most expensive) and my GC has to install because no one here does them at this size.

Brio: https://briousa.com/blog/products/screen-solutions/brio-612-retractable-pleated-insect-screen/ (I can't get it locally, but the manufacturer put me in touch with someone who can ship it if my GC can install)

Solar Innovations: https://solarinnovations.com/accessories/screen-systems/#1628089417907-bd580b74-1233 (B or W series- no pricing yet)

Bravo screens: https://bravoscreens.com/large-retractable-porch-screens/ Obvi a smaller operation but is literally 1/2 the price of anything else...but who knows about the quality...


Anyone have any other suggestions?


I have to have a horizontal screen because the point of said screen is to allow the doors to be fully opened without buggies or animals getting in/out. I know there are vertical options, but that makes it difficult for people to walk into and out of the room to the outside and the nearest entrance to the outside is inconvenient.
