roberta Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Good Morning: I am looking for screening that I could enclose my back patio with. I was thinking of the screening you would use for a gazebo; it is flexible; maybe made with a poly of some sort. I looked at what I call misquito netting at Walmart (I believe it is really called Tulle). That would work and is certainly cheap enough $.77 a yard. The problem is that when we did a test of what color really none of them held up well against dirt. They were pretty filthy looking within a couple of weeks. Certainly cheap enough even if we had to replace it every year it would be worth it at that price. I was just wondering if I could get the real thing (flexible screening) for even a little more but would last longer than 1 season at a time. I need 36 yards to do the entire patio area. Thank you in advance, Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biomajor Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I bought a roll of window screening at Home depot. I bought the aluminum kind because I have cats, but it works well and is easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberta Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Good Evening: I dont have a Farm & Fleet store around. I actually liked them when I lived in WI. I can try OSH; they may be similar. For the Home Depot regular window screening; do you leave it in place or pull it back when you are not using it. I guess I should have mentioned that; the reason the tulle would have worked very well also was you can pull it back almost like a window sheer and tie it back when you didnt want to use it. When you did just slide it over on the (thin cable wire) that will go from point A to point B. I will check out the local hardware stores here. Thank you for the ideas, I appreciate them. Have a great night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
