Apartment friendly dog door for swinging door.
I’m looking to get a dog door for my dogs so they can go outside and go potty when I’m not home. Where I live gets very hot, so a screen or leaving the door open isn’t a long term option (also the mosquitos are crazy and I can barely keep the door open for a minute once sunset hits). I have a standard door to my backyard that opens inward. In my search I could only find one dog door that fits this kind of door (photo attached) , but it’s $300 and I don’t have that kind of money. I’m trying to figure out a solution. I’m not very handy, the most I’ve done is hang some shelving and put together Amazon furniture with an Allen wrench. How difficult would it be to build and insulate a door like this? Would the cost outweigh what I’d spend just to buy one? I’ve also found some sliding glass inserts that swing open and I’m curious about installing that in a way that I could fix it to stay open and fulfill the same purpose. Has anyone done this kind of project and able to lend some advice? submitted by /u/NotyourangeLbabe [link] [comments]
