A retractable barrier system designed for use within a garage door opening, this structure typically consists of a mesh material stretched across a frame that slides horizontally along a track. It provides ventilation and insect protection while allowing access to the garage space. For example, a homeowner might install this type of system to create a comfortable workspace within the garage during warmer months.
The primary advantage of such a system lies in its ability to transform a garage into a multi-functional area. Benefits include improved air circulation, natural light, and protection from insects, thereby enhancing the usability of the space. Historically, homeowners sought alternatives to fully enclosed garages, especially in climates where open-air access was desirable for comfort and project work. These systems offered a compromise, balancing the need for enclosure with the desire for open-air functionality.
