Our story began about five years ago when we purchased and renovated our dream home, creating the perfect space for our family. The centerpiece of our renovation was a stunning open-plan kitchen and living area, enhanced by large skylights and wall-to-wall bi-fold doors. We envisioned these doors wide open on hot summer days, inviting cool evening breezes as we entertained guests.
Eighteen months of hard work later, we completed our renovation and were thrilled with the results. However, we soon faced an unexpected challenge: our beautiful open space attracted not just fresh air but also flies, mosquitoes, spiders, wasps, and other unwelcome garden critters. The situation worsened at sunset when nocturnal insects emerged, turning our dream into a constant battle to keep pests out.
Additionally, our cat, Yoda, frequently brought home “gifts” like birds, mice, and rats, compounding our issues. We found ourselves trapped in an overheated room with the lingering cooking smells, unable to enjoy the summer days we had dreamed of.
This is where the idea Swarm Shield was created. We wanted a solution that kept out the bugs yet complimented the look of our open plan space. Our tightly woven polyester mesh is weather-resistant and, when fully opened, blends seamlessly into your garden backdrop, preserving the aesthetic appeal of your bi-fold doors. We’ve worked tirelessly to make Swarm Shield screens easy to install for even the most novice DIYer. If you prefer, we also offer a full fitting and consultation service, ensuring precise measurements and perfect installation for your home. Alternatively, you can simply measure your opening using our assisted guide and have the screens delivered directly to your door ready for you to fit.
