roberta Posted August 11, 2006 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
Gunnershorthair Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Do you have a Farm & Fleet store in your area ?.. they do sell the fexible screening ..
biomajor Posted August 11, 2006 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.
roberta Posted August 16, 2006 Author 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!
