The problem with storage does scrap an otherwise good idea. The best screens
I've run across were more of a sack that slipped over the top of the window
frame and were held in place when you closed the door .  the screens could
be rolled up and stuffed anywhere. These could be made by sewing two
sections of screening to a strip of light nylon forming a "sack".  No
messing with any magnets and it's impossible to knock them off. Simplicity
and function. Jim
