Fiberglass window screen mesh for windows, doors, and porches
This is standard 18 x 16 fiberglass screen mesh, the weave most window and door screens use. The fiberglass won’t rust or corrode, and it won’t dent or bend out of shape the way metal mesh can, so it’s forgiving to work with on a frame.
It comes 36 inches wide on a 100-foot roll, enough to rescreen a whole house of windows or run a porch. Good for patio doors, windows, and porch screens.
