A protective barrier designed to be affixed to the entry of a recreational vehicle, typically constructed of mesh or metal, serves to prevent domestic animals from escaping or damaging the screen while still allowing airflow and visibility. These components are often installed on the lower portion of the screen door, as this area is most susceptible to scratching or pushing by pets. An example would be a sturdy, black powder-coated metal panel covering the bottom half of an RV’s screen door.
The implementation of such a device offers several advantages. It significantly reduces the need for screen repair or replacement, saving costs associated with maintenance. Furthermore, it provides peace of mind for recreational vehicle owners, ensuring the safety and containment of their animals, particularly during camping or travel. The concept stems from a need to balance ventilation and insect control offered by a screen door with the practical considerations of pet ownership within a confined space.
