The bottom half of back screen door has a massive hole, My dogs have barged through the doggy door and ripped it out. Now the metal is bent and I don't know how to fix this. The doggy door doesn't want to go back in nicely and I don't really need it anymore.
Hello @steffie
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your screen door.
If you wish to just replace the screen on your screen door, I suggest using Cyclone 910mm x 2m Pet Mesh Flyscreen. It is one of the most durable screens available, making it ideal for high-traffic areas where paws or small hands push against the screen. This tough, heavy-gauge polyester mesh is engineered to be tear resistant to protect against damage caused by raking claws of most dogs and cats.
How ever, if you wish to try and re-install your pet door, I recommend looking at Cyclone 910mm x 2m Aluminium Flyscreen. Please note that excessive force used on the aluminium mesh will cause it to tear. It would be best to have it firmly attached but not overly tight.
Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to replace a flyscreen by @Tara86.

Hi Eric.
Thanks for the reply. The screen door is metal, how do I fix it if it's metal?
Hello @steffie
It is likely that it's made of Aluminium or a thicker version of it, that's why it feels like metal. Like I mentioned in my recommendation earlier, you can use the Cyclone 910mm x 2m Aluminium Flyscreen if you are after a metal finish. The same installation procedures apply to the aluminium mesh as seen in the guide I posted.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
