It keeps the pups from the screen which I thought was a goner when Murphy flew through it in the beginning , but it did self heal . It give you the idea. . I was going to buy something and then was going to just make a gate until I lucked out on the one we have . This should give some idea's . the last picture is for us , I walked into the closed screen . Pat

Pat, we had so many of these pet gates and so many versions with all of our pets that I couldn't even tell you how many! Yep, they can be very useful.

Yes, the problem I have had from the beginning is walking into the screen myself. Bought floss for it but never did put it. Another one of those things on the list to do. . Like the anchors.

Has anyone figured out a solution to making the screen more visible while still allowing it to be useable? We full-time so we don't have the storage capacity for a baby gate, nor do we want to be futzing with a baby gate every time we go in and out of the camper.

Ideally I'd love something that could be attached to the screen that can still fit in with the screen when it retracts, but I feel like I'm hoping for something that doesn't exist.

that's cute.
can you paint the screen a bright color?

Yes, saw the smoke and heard the explosions of gas tanks at 6 am yesterday. Half a mile from me as the crow flies. Yeah, I'd be worried about leaving home or sleeping if an arsonist was known to be on the loose around here.
