I adjusted these to fit in the opening. I store them as a head rest when not in use.

Do not fret if you don't sew.
On Todah 1, I used brown duct tape for boarding the mesh. It lasted for a pretty long time, but overtime, it gets stucky because of Texas heat. By the time I did Todah 2, I had discovered "permanent" strength Liquid Stitch (found in Wal-mart craft or sewing section). I used 1 1/2 cloth banning (it is called banning). This too can be found at any sewing store or wal-mart. This makes a good boarder for the mesh.
Next I used sticky-back velcro, in evenly spaced lengths, along the banning to attach it to the tear opening. (I'll come back and finish the explaination with an edit. I've to scoot right now.)

I looked at those and they look great! They're are quite a few though ranging a bit in cost. I would like to keep the cost low, but curious from others what I would be giving up with going with the 4000 or 5000 model? Does anyone have a specfic model they love and why?
Thanks!

I did this for both the side door as well as the back door. Of course it helps if you work for a window company.
