I'm looking for a screen door grill. So my dog stops turning my screen door into a dog door.
Camping World no longer has the expanded metal one. They carry a decorative one with 4 curly bars, that I don't think is going to work.

Home Depot or Lowes. Or fabricate one from decorative aluminum sheet metal they have there.

They do sell one that fits the door. Got one to keep our Labs inside! Have a doggy door at home, did not want a big one in the RV![emoji3]

Maybe a pet proof screen would work.

A 36 inch (for lack of a better description) screen door protector at Lowes works great turned on it's end. Just so happens to fit a 24 inch door perfectly.

Everything worked fine, then the boy cracked the door at the latch,,Meh.

What I used was a shock collar. It sounds cruel, but it gets their attention and soon you have a dog that lives a wonderful life off leash. Our boxer needed a zap or two years ago, now she's such a good girl. She used to run away;if she got out the door she was ggoonnee. No amount of calling and running and treats and whatever would catch her. Now she comes out in the front yard with me and just hangs out, she doesn't even wear a dummy collar. We still use the shock collar if we are in a crowded area, but she never gets a zap and rarely needs a warning beep.

Hi !

Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Can't add to what others have suggested! Keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

But, I called Camping World, and they said “no, could not find one” and sent me to this B.B.

I will try shopping in person, lol. The screen I ordered on Amazon is 36 x32.

I want to try the dog screen, but must be cheap for now. This is a replacement MH. I lost house, Airstream and Colby trailers, in the California wildfires. Got out with the dogs.

Planing to learn to boondock, once I have safe fences again, and maybe permits.

Camping World sells several different types. Go on line and check. I just did and saw two, $29&$38.

We used an earlier version of the one Camping World sells on our 2001 motorhome. It did a fine job of keeping our Cocker Spaniels from scratching out or going through the screen.

If you have a black Lab or similar size dog you might need something tougher. On the other hand the screen door latch is only plastic. Any force that would be great enough for the dog to go through the screen would also probably be enough to break the latch.

You could try pet screen, my sons company installs doggie doors in screen doors.

Many metal supply companies sell decorative sheet metal and aluminium. A little trimming to fit, paint to match and a few rivets and you have a custom dog resistant screen door.
