Garage door mosquito nets?

The heat of summer has set in, meaning I will do 95% of my wrenching at sunset or dark, when the temperatures are bearable. Naturally both garage doors and the side door will be opened to let the garage air out and, if I am lucky, catch a draft from the cross breeze.

 

This whole scenario is a giant bug light. Within a 1/2 hour of opening the garage doors, the bug density is so high that you will breathe in a number of the pesky flying things.

 

I would like to find something that can be used to keep the bugs at bay and outside. I think some sort of fabric screen in the garage door openings would be awesome. You know, like those pop up tents that have a bug net all around sides. But, does anybody make such a thing for garage door openings? I am not opposed to making a screen, but I'm not even sure where to start.

 

Thoughts, comments, ideas?

I would imagine you could make a frame set to put in, and then toss some screen in it. I have seen things like this at most swap meets though:

Guess Lowe's sells something like it too:

I've also seen ones that ride up on a separate track like a garage door...

Window AC would be nice, but I would need a window. Plus, I am usually using some harsh chemicals in the garage and need the fresh air flow.

 

I'm sold. I'm buying one :typing:

Which route are you going? I almost bought two from the link Harley provided this evening, but didn't know which style I would like to have.

That and not all garages are insullated, the a/c unit would never stop running and that electric bill will be surprising

Must be an old garage. Federal fire regulations require a fire exit. You can get one of those magnetic bug guards for the smaller doors
