ok here is question..my son and daughter live in texas..why don't that have screens doors on the front of most of the houses?
it drives me crazy,when i can't open the door, and let a breeze run through the house.!

(ok, so you don't have alot of months that have actual breezes!) :roll:

just curious..

I'm in PA & would not leave my front door open with just a screen door. It's a safety factor now a days.

heat, heat, and more heat. Growing up in Texas we had screen doors, but we didn't have AC. Now AC and no screen doors. We have a storm door that has a panel that can raise if we want a breeze - don't use it. We also have a sliding patio door that has a screen - we do use that for a few days between the "winter" and summer. It was 80 degrees at 7 AM today. Heat, heat, heat. Humidity is another issue - depending where in TX you are. 90+ % humidity leaves things sticky and damp.

Visiting my daughter in Texas, in Killeen, I don't remember seeing many, if any screen doors. But did notice that the whole town seemed to be built of bricks!!

DD could have screen doors, except for her rescue dogs, who might go through them if not strengthened. But for security, they are more like a pack of wolves when someone even comes up the walk, so no one gets near there unnoticed. (Instead of a baseball bat or a whip to control them, she uses a water spray bottle!!!)

Could be blown open by wind during tornadoes and other storms....

I LOVE these. Nothing to blow away as it's all inside. LOVE!!

And there are less expensive versions. And easy to DIY install.
NAYY. ;-)
