Comments (6)Hi You may want to search "Retractable Flyscreens" this system will most certainly do the job for you and keep those Mozzies out . I have attached a couple of photos so you can understand the concept and also a link to a possible company in your area . We are based in sydney ,but i saw your question and have recently went through the same process with a client and we will more than likely proceed with the same type of flyscreen.

Comments (27)I couldn't tick one or the other of the boxes – I think the choice has to be made contingent on so many variables. In fact we have painted timber, double-glazed bifolds (with a fabulous retractable pleated fly-screen) at the end of the dining room leading out onto a terrace and a painted timber, double-glazed slider (with a timber-framed sliding fly-screen) on the other side of the kitchen (but on the same axis) opening onto a raised timber deck.
