We recently bought a home with a screened in porch. While the installed screen is sturdy and in good condition, we needed reinforcement. We have 7 cats, and the porch is their hang-out. As they tore holes in the window screens at previous house, we could imagine the destruction to the screened porch! We ordered this to install on the inside of the porch to create two screen barriers. This stuff is fantastic! It was easy to cut and create panels, and drywall screws with collars hold it in place. The screen doesn't bow or stretch when a cat or dog lays against it. Occasionally, one of the cats will climb after a critter. The wires don't bend from their claws or weight, nor does the screen sag with weight of cat. If you are looking for screen to reinforce your porches, this is highly recommended!
