I was going to make some, maybe with some hinges so I cna fold them up and get out. Doesn't seen real hard. Maybe some 1x2s or something.

Ive seen the hook and loop type advertised on many websites.They seem like kind of a hassle to put up and take down all the time though.I am looking for the permanent but retractable type.Anyone??

Measure the garage door opening, cut and attach the screen to the bottom lip of the garage door. Run a few velcro straps between the screen and where the screen is attached to the lower lip of the garage door. (this way you can roll the screen up and strap in the rolled position to secure when garage door is closed). When the door is up, just release the velcro straps and the screen dropps to the floor. Hope it helps.

That is a darn good idea Craig!
I've wanted to screen the garage as well so I can keep the door open and the bugs out....I put a screen door on the back door last year, but I didn't want the hassle of something I had to keep putting up all the time. Or the kids riding their bikes through.
Now I just gotta call that screen company! And then figure out how to roll 16' of screen back up!
