screen door

Ventilated bug barrier

A screen door is a door with a mesh panel instead of solid material, allowing air to flow through while keeping insects out.

Screen doors typically cover an exterior doorway, mounted in front of a conventional door: We sat on the porch with the screen door banging in the breeze.

The mesh is usually fine metal or synthetic fiber.
