Retractable screen doors

We put in retractable screen doors but they are so clear we forget that they are there. Can you think of anything we may use to know that the screen is on? thanks, Pep

    Put a strip of the patter duck tape on both sides.

      @Puppy mom thanks, we tried that, but the tape, retracts back with screen. Thanks for info...

    Glue a magnet on the back of a small silk flower...put the magnetized flower on one side of the screen and another magnet on the back side of the screen (with the screen sandwiched between the magnets) They are light enough that they don't pull on the screen but yet bright enough to get your attention!

    There are small label things, I think they are magnetic to use as decorations on screen doors to remind you that they are there.

    LOL we had the same problem. We ended up tapping a nail at top of door frame and hung a yardstick that I sprayed WHITE and added a string to loop over the nail. We remove the stick whenever we are not going in and out. Love the retractable screen doors.

    I saw a cute solution to this on Pinterest. They "cross-stitched' a small design right onto the screen. I think it would be an pretty, no-fuss fix, since it would not interfere with the retracting action of the screen. :)
