A Google about has only come across it in the sheets for doors/windows,
not
sure if that stuff will last.

It's usually PVC coated fibreglass, and virtually indestructible. The fly
screens I made over 10 years ago are still going strong...


been given a link to HDPE mesh sold by the metre ....
not sure if HDPE will be as long lasting - any idea?

Lasts well as water pipes.

I've a couple of 500ml bottles that are about 35 yeras old; had
hydrofluoric acid in originally, then a few years with a liquid CFC in; now
1 is used for water on my shopping bike (not for drinking - just in case of
a puncture) and there's no sign of cracking or other degradation.
