FAQs

Can I use this for larger animals?

This mesh is designed for insect protection and small animal enclosures. It is not recommended for containing large, chewing animals.

What tools do I need to cut the mesh?

Standard heavy-duty scissors or a sharp utility knife are sufficient to cut the fiberglass material.

Is the mesh UV resistant?

The fiberglass construction is durable and designed for window/door use, providing resistance against common outdoor elements.

Can this be painted?

It is not recommended to paint the mesh, as it may clog the holes and restrict airflow.

How much does the roll cover?

The roll measures 100 cm by 500 cm, offering a total surface area of 5 square meters.

Troubleshooting

The mesh feels loose after installation.

Ensure that the mesh is pulled taut across the frame before securing it with the spline or staples.

Mesh edges are fraying.

Apply a small amount of fabric adhesive to the cut edges or ensure the edges are fully tucked into the frame channel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rust and corrosion
  • Provides excellent airflow while blocking insects
  • Lightweight and easy to work with
  • Ample 500 cm length for multiple projects

Cons

  • Requires proper frame tensioning to prevent sagging over time
  • Limited to black color option
  • May fray at the edges if not secured properly within a frame

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your existing frame is clean and free of old adhesive or rusted staples. Measure your frame dimensions carefully and add approximately 2-5 cm of excess material before cutting with heavy-duty scissors. If installing into a traditional screen window frame, use a spline roller tool to press the mesh into the frame channel securely. To clean, simply wipe the mesh down with a damp cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris accumulation periodically. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may degrade the fiberglass coating over time.
