Looking for a 30 inch wood screen door - laurarice - 01-16-2014

If anyone has one......they are typically on old houses. I need it to cut a cat door. The metal ones won't work

Don't know if the magnetic Magic Mesh (as seen on TV) will work for a cat, but they're cheap at Ace and relatively easy to install and work okay for my medium-sized dog. They aren't perfect for humans, and you have to be careful not to snag the edges when entering and exiting, especially with large cargo like bikes or furniture. I left one half loose on the lower portion to minimize snagging and tension. My dog did tend to step on the hem while passing through. I repaired the damage she caused this way with hot glue after sewn repairs failed. She tends to penetrate it underneath now, nose-low now rather than parting the magnetic center seam. The weave is pretty weak at the hemmed edges, but magic mesh is cheap to replace if necessary.
