DOCA 36 in x 50 ft Window Screen Mesh - Window Screen Replacement, Fiberglass Mesh Roll for Window, Patio Screen, Porch Screen, or Door - Charcoal

This screen was used to screen in my 25 year old deck - with all the warped pieces, settled footings, etc.I purchased a 50 foot roll. It is at least 60 feet! a good thing, because my requirement was pretty close to 50 feet - and you must cut a bit oversize for installing.I don't know why some report this as being fragile. It's pretty darn tough!I was going to use one of the commercial systems to add a splining system. I played with some sample pieces for a few days, and found it was a real PITA just to cut pieces EXACTLY to size, remove "burrs" left by the cutting, and aligning PERFECTLY at the ends. If not perfect, it looked pretty bad.I opted to construct a wooden stapling surface all around the deck "window" perimeter that is on the the same plane as the surface of the 4 X 4 deck uprights to the roof. I stapled the screening to this and the 4 x 4 uprights, covered the staples with strips of wood painted to match the house color. These strips not only hide the staples, but should prevent them from pulling out if the screen is pushed by wind, an errant elbow, etc. Then, it was easy to trim off the excess screening along the edges of the wood strips with my trusty pocket knife.I purchased a high quality cordless Makita stapler for this project. It worked flawlessly. Staples all driven in properly (except one that I pulled the trigger on before it was aligned properly), no jams, no double strikes, etc. It was pretty expensive, and is fairly heavy, but is a well worthwhile piece of equipment. MUCH better than the corded electric stapler I bought for about $35 a few years ago.

I bought this to re-screen our back porch. I had aluminum screen that had been there for about 8 years and was worn out (stretched, loose, chewed through from squirrels). I just put it up this past weekend (5/2 - 5/3) and the results are great. I am so happy with this screen, and the delivery in the middle of the stay at home Coronavirus was an added plus.I purchased this because of the great reviews and the price when compared to similar products at my favorite DIY stores. This screen was very easy to work with...much easier than aluminum screen. I suggest having two people if possible to you can line it up evenly, but I did most of it by myself and had no issues.Note: I don't have a notch to use spline (would probably be perfect if I did), so I used a staple gun. I think it will hold just fine since I left about 2" of overlap all around and it also has 1 x 4 overtop of it to protect the points of attachment.All you really need is a staple gun to install it. Since I have the border covered around it with 1 x 4, I used some deck screws as well, but that's all based on your preference.Installation tips:1. Measurements - allow for about a 2 - 3" overhang all around. This will help you put multiple staples into the edge as you attach it so you can pull it taught.2. Pre cut - the rolls are large and would be awkward to work with, so measure (twice) and cut the length BEFORE you get on the ladder:).3. Start from the top - I suggest putting a staple at the top in each corner, checking to make sure the bottom length is covering what you need, then fastening the top with about 8 staples evenly spaced. Then, pull the bottom taught (it doesn't have to be super tight - just a bit of a stretch will do it) starting in the middle (on staple), then one on the right, then one on the left, then finish the bottom. Work your way up one side (pulling it just a bit taught), then down the other (pulling it so it flattens out the screen).I will upload a picture when the review allows for it.In the attached picture, the left panel has the screen and the right doesn't. You can barely tell the difference (which is good). I took it from about 5 feet away.I definitely recommend this screen. I would order more than you need in case this brand ever goes away and you need to fix a section. Luckily I have enough left over should I ever have to redo some panels.

Love love love this screen and I have tried several others for my gazebo. I live in a super high wind area and all others I have tried rip with the wind. Visibility is so good, which suprised me considering how durable it is. Easy to install. Such great quality on this and way cheaper than trying to big box stores! Will purchase again for all my future screen needs

Easy to use. Very durable.

This window replacement screen works great. It is lightweight and durable. It provides a nice new look to windows with old ashy screens. It is made of quality materials and is very easy to use.

These are great same as the ones you buy at places you got your heating system but so much cheaper and they are the same as theirs

Product is great & arrived on time.It is exactly as described.

I must say... buying the large, 36" x 100' was the right call. I don't think I've even gone through half the roll yet. I've done so many replacements that I'm an expert now.This screen holds up well. Unlike metal screens, this one won't rust and is light weight. Not that it weight matters for a single screen. But the entire 100' roll is very light and portable.Also, installation is super easy. Can't believe something that cuts so easy with scissors and a box cutter holds up so well under normal use.Add some tension as you place the spline into the crease. Especially near the corners. No need use too much tension, though.The look and fit are great. I've gotten to a point after at least a dozen replacements, I can do a standard 30"x30" window screen in about 10-15 minutes, including removal and replacement.
