Pets are part of the family for many homeowners, but their playful energy can take a toll on your home and exterior doors. From dogs scratching on doors to chewing, clawing, or even running into them, it’s common for pets to leave damage on a door. While small scratches may be cosmetic, significant or repeated damage can compromise the door’s structure, security, and efficiency.
Living with pets brings a lot of joy, but also a fair share of home maintenance challenges. One of the most common problems is damaged window and door screens. Whether it’s a curious cat batting at insects or a dog pressing against the door to watch for squirrels, standard screens aren’t built for that kind of wear and tear.
Summer is approaching, so you’ll likely utilize your screen doors more. However, for pet owners, the increased use of screen doors often comes with the challenge of keeping them intact. It’s a familiar scene: you open the screen door, and your dog or cat seems to have a knack for charging or clawing at it. Pets can be rough on screen doors, sometimes damaging them beyond repair.
A screened porch offers a safe and serene space for your pets to enjoy the outdoors. That outside space needs to be conducive to good behavior and health for your pet. This article will explain how to create a space where you and your furry friends can best enjoy your screened porch.
