ADFORS Pet Screen, 36 Inches x 84 Inches Roll - Scratch Resistant Replacement Screen for Windows and Doors - Charcoal

I have a new indoor cat and needed to rescreen my front screen door to protect my 8 month old kitten against some of the roaming 15 pound felines running about . I thought about using aluminum screen and while it's tougher than fiberglass, it still has disadvantages because it dents, can still be torn, isn't intended to be pet proof, the wires can get pulled apart and it can be sort of a pain to install if you are not experienced/careful. Pet D-Fence Pros: 1.) VERY tough nylon or heavy duty fiberglass material - far tougher than I thought it would be. 2.) Decent transparency. It's darker than standard charcoal fiberglass screen but it also makes it harder for people walking by to peek into my front door during the day but no so much at night 3.) Easy to install relative to aluminum screen and more tolerant of screen spline roller slips than either fiberglass or aluminum screen 4.) Simple tools required for installation - screen roller, new screen bead if required, a slot blade screwdriver, razor knife with new blade or you can farm it out to the local hardware store 5.) Adds a lot of stability and rigidity to a screen frame 6.) (NEW) This screen deflects 90% of the sunlight and heat away from my front door. See my update comments at the end of this review Cons: None really but see the section below on "things to know". Things to know: 1.) I saw some comments from other reviewers that this screen is too thick to install. That may happen if you have very narrow screen channels but there are techniques to try before abandoning hope. You may actually need smaller diameter screen spline. 2.) Another approach to try rather than buying new screen spline is to simply press about one inch of the existing spline in place with regular slot screw driver blade at a corner and then gently pull the spline to stretch it, reducing it's diameter and then roll it into place with a spline roller - that's what I did. 3.) I did not list the extra thickness as a "con" because D-Fence screen is made to be tougher/thicker. 4.) Be aware that when stretching the screen spline it is important to use a very stable work table. Having a second set of hands and strong forearms also helps with installation. I did mine solo and it came out nearly perfect with patience 5.) The D-Fence product does darkens the look of the screen and some of the outward visibility even in daylight because the mesh is thicker. It's fine with me because I want protection for my cat and I think the darker color looks fine but you might not agree. 6.) I used a few small wood shop style 2" spring clips with a wooden ruler to hold the screen in place so I would not scratch the screen frame when setting the bead. Other options are using medium sized metal binder clips used in offices for large stacks of paper or having a second person simply maintain pressure by gently pulling the screen tight. The photo below shows standard charcoal fiberglass screen on the left and the D-Fence screen on the right. In summary, I really like this product, ordered two more rolls from Amazon.. I have NOT accepted ANY discount or free product for my review. 5/30/16 update - The screen easily withstood a mauling from a large neighborhood cat two nights ago. Not a mark on it after the other 15 pound cat climbed half way up the screen. One other interesting side note. My home faces east and my main entry door gets REALLY hot in the morning sun with a standard screen in place. With the pet d-fence screen in place, the door never gets above about 100 degrees - the heavier mesh reflects all the heat. That latter fact alone is enough to get me to buy this product. 7/16/16 update - I used Pet-Defence screen on a rear house screen after an local cat clawed my original Marvin fiberglass screen up trying to get into a fight with my indoor cat. Last night the same outdoor cat launched another attack at my cat who was sitting in the window with the Pet-Defense screen. The other cat bounced off the heavy duty pet screen. I was sitting on the sofa 5 feet away and it was loud and pretty funny. No damage to the new Pet-Defence screen but the other cat has to be scratching it's head wondering what happened. I bought a new, larger screen roller and I "pre-roll" the Pet-Defence into the screen notch with the convex side and then add the spline pressing it into place with the concave side of the roller. Great screen for defusing cat fights!

Es fácil de colocar, de recortar. Tienes que comprar algo para colocarla, ya sea cinta doble cara de pegamento, imanes, o lo que gustes. Deja pasar muy bien la luz y ventila bien.

The material is good and should last the adolescence period of my dogs. The recommended spline might be a very tight fit depending on your door as the pet proof material is thicker than the usual screen. Worked for me but was a workout for a largish patio door.

Fantastic product and service provided from Amazon. Great experience, even though it came from all the way from USA. Keep up the good work 👍

My cat kept tearing up my window screen and needed something super durable and this was absolutely perfect! He attempted once and never bothered to scratch at the screen - finally I can have the windows open with no fear of him scratching or tearing it up! So worth it great quality/ thick and very durable!!
