@winglift1 Thanks, LeRay, for your tweet and good tip about the nylon scrubber.

@winglift1 Thanks, LeRay, I appreciate the correction. I'll ask my editor to change the nylon to stainless steel wool or chain mail.

@davemike1 ...which is why I recommend outswinging doors, as opposed to traditional in-swinging French doors. When the wind blows against in-swinging doors, they can creak open a little, and let in wind, rain and sand. But remember, proper installation is the key with any door. Good luck!

@davemike1 Another option is to consider a hinged out-swinging French door, instead of a sliding door. Outswinging doors don't have a bottom track and they do a better job of sealing out the weather. Plus, when the wind blows, the doors form a tighter seal against the house...

@davemike1 From the three or four top nationally recognized manufacturers, Marvin makes the best sliding patio door. Andersen and Pella are also good, but Marvin would be my choice.

@davemike1 Hi Michael, sorry for delayed reply; I don't check my twitter account as often as I should. Any high-quality sliding patio door will keep out wind, rain and sand--if it's properly installed. If it's not installed correctly, then any door will leak.

@jessmendoza I love your work on MLB games! And I'm an old guy who's been watching baseball for more than 50 years. You're smart, knowledgeable, and insightful, without being intrusive or disruptive to the flow of the broadcast, which is no easy trick. Keep it up and good luck!

@davemike1 Hi Michael, interesting question. I love the Andersen E-Series Frenchwood Door. It has wood interior and aluminum exterior. What I like about this style is its frame is much wider than other sliding doors, and it has a great lockset that might keep out sand.

A few years ago I built a classic shade arbor, and then wrote a magazine article about it with step-by-step instructions. The readers loved it. Hope you do, too:
