I'm at my parents' house this week, clearing fences, doing repairs and
stuff. The last thing on my list is fixing the torn screen door.

The old screen is aluminum (probably purchased a long time ago), and
appears to be installed with 0.160" spline. I am going to be using
fiberglass screening because it is more tear resistant.

Will I need .160 spline, or .175 since the fiberglass material is
thinner? Or does it even matter?

How tight do I stretch the screen before I spline it? (I assume I just
lay it flat with no wrinkles, and no tension until I do the 3rd and 4th
sides)

Thanks,

Should use the same spline - and you've basically got the procedure
right.
