It fits under the lip against the screen.   
Still a work in progress, lots of pictures.

How did you attach the plexiglass to the door?

[QUOTE=sylviablue] We got the idea from someone here, thank you!  We cut a plexiglass panel to fit in front of the lower half of the screen door.  It really saves the screening from eager paws.

If you don't mind what are the dimensions for the plexiglass?

Okay, that sounds easy enough even for me.  (On the other hand, I oughta beware whenever I think something might be easy, I usually end up doing something dumb.)  Will give it a try.  Thanks for the info.!

You can buy a cutting tool for plexiglass, and all I did was hold it up to the curve and used a marker.  Then I scored over the mark until is was deep enough to seperate.  Also scored from the mark out to the then about 3 times so the plexiglass would break in the right locations.

Yep Hercules, took out the bottom screen and I replace it with plexiglas...I also put plexiglass on the top like pepperpod, so I can leave the door open and have the A/c on.
