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.

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.

When you cut the plexiglass for the top of the door, did you cut it with the rounded corners on the top or did you attach it a different way?  If you cut the rounded corners, any suggestions for getting the measurements exact (since I'd get it cut somewhere else) so it will sit inside the gap between the frame and the screen?

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.

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.!

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

How did you attach the plexiglass to the door?

It fits under the lip against the screen.
