Default Best Screendoor Material?

I didn't know you could even get aluminum screen any more! There are
at least 2 grades of fiberglass screen. Having a dog with sharp claws,
the heavier grade stuff works fine. Just lay the door down on a flat
surface, get the right size of rubber cord to use, and the roller
tool. You need a sharp knife as well. Maybe 15 minutes, top. Local
screen places will even do the job for essentially time and materials,
if you don't want to do it yourself.

Hi,
Heavier fiberglass screen is really heavy enough for dogs or birds.
Rubber cord is commonly called spline and if you have a tool for it, it
is lot easier to work with.
