We accidentally got the metal stuff for one of our windows to replace a torn screen. I can tell you this, metal and fiberglass screening don't mix, they don't reflect light the same way. If you're not redoing all of it, stick with whatever you have. If you're redoing all of it, go with fiberglass. Much clearer. That's what we have on our screened in porch.

Replace it with pet screen. Much stronger than what you have now.

thanks I will look into that

Why? Five times the cost, looks terrible, and your old screening "held up great for 10 years."

I would like to redo the entire porch due to birds hitting in causing rips, human error rip I was looking at https://www.phifer.com/sun-control/exterior/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=exterior-sun-control&utm_content=all-platforms&fbclid=IwAR1SGLiMNgUqO3ABbuMXGbE35uJ0u2O-JmJIOMs4lpRH5tMRhgg_-3BldZQ and it appears polyester more durable over aluminum and fiberglass.

Post almost looks like spam? Again, your original has lasted ten years so far!

but there are alot of small holes causing the bugs to enter and its a lot to patch them all. I have screen samples but still hard to decide the strongest material to prevent when a bird hits into it.
