Can this be used to replace the screening in an outdoor patio, or is it too thick?

no for mosquito screen, this is a sun screen material, the weave though not widely spaced would still allow our small Florida bugs access, I purchased 100 ft roll of the green several years ago along with their lobster fasteners, I love this stuff, air flow is great, significant reduction in heat transfer, especially in the Florida sun. if it ever wears out , I will replace , love it. currently it covers the entire west side porch on the front of my house.

If you want to be able to see through the screen, then no. It is fairly thick and rough

It is a great product and we love it, but I don't think it would work to replace screening as it is quite a bit thicker and denser. You won't be able to "see" through it. We use is as a shading screen for the sun on our patio.

It attaches to the screen door FRAME, and doesn't replace the screen itself. In my opinion, its too thick (it's about an inch thick) unless you have a significant gap between the screen door and the regular doors. In my case I couldn't slide it open because it bumped into my other sliding door. May work fine if you have a swinging door though.

I live next to some animals, horses and cows. The screen will block some dust, however once the dust is in the air it will travel over the fence. I'd use a combination of fast growing shrubs and the screen for best results.

We always set ours up on the patio and use bungee cords (2) to secure it from the top of the screen to the deck top. We only leave it up for the duration of the party due to possible issues with wind. Any reasonable wind could tweak it and cause damage. The framing is very solid, however one never knows when that freak wind may blast through.

If the shade screen is meant to work with stakes, then these will do an admiral job. They are very strong and stay lines can be attached to them in several ways.

If you don't want to completely remove the aluminum screen and then replace it, you could try using hot-melt glue to attach the pet screening over it. I can't imagine it'll come out looking too good, though.

I have purchased this windscreen to prevent invasive neighbors, but I have not have enough experience yet to determine weeds. I believe this fabric is capable of preventing weeds/vines because it just may be a tight enough weave.

Hi Marylou-Absolutely; I have an outdoor patio shade that is constantly exposed to the weather and, after six plus months it looks perfectly fine. The use for an outdoor tent would certainly be far more benign on the material than my application.

Probably yes too thick. Also if it is windy, this thing will collapse. This is more of an indoor thing, or maybe a sheltered porch.

I would say yes. But you would have to roll it back and secure it. The screen house is not attached to the bottom tarp. So it is very do-able!

According to the documentation it is made for outdoor use, however on a gate, you'll need to make sure that there is enough flat surface on both sides to install. I wanted to install one on my security screen door but couldn't because it didn't have enough solid flat surface to do so.

I have a 4' tall fence, this privacy screen covers it down to the grass, if you went with a 5' screen you would probably have several inches left over. It would depend on your circumstance if you would accept a few inches of gap at the bottom or something you would have to tuck under.

I can't vouch for how well it will hold up against a big dog, but my cats have scratched at it and climbed on it and they haven't been able to even dent the screening. I would give it a try if I were you. I recommend that you go with narrow spline because this screening is thicker than standard screening, so you have to work a bit to get the spline into the frame. I installed mine 14 months ago and it looks as good as new.

I used this to paint the screened lid of an outdoor fireplace. The 3/4" inch wide main supports (that the screen attaches to) and the ring still look great. I painted the screen as well and I think some of the paint has burned away, but this was a light coat on a very thin mesh. I think it will work for you.

Yes, This would be good for outdoor chairs, but I might try to get 3" thick for benches or 2 person swings, but that's just a personal preference. I don't think it's water resistant though, so I would use a more water-resistant fabric/scotchgard or bring it in out of the rain.

Definitely. It can be used as just a shade shelter without hanging the screen walls. We completely love this item and use it all summer.

I believe the rain, sun, and wind would damage it severely. You need wood that is treated and finished specifically to handle outside elements. Outdoor furniture made of Teak or Cypress tend to be built more solidly than this finely carved screen. And because of that they can hold their shape while the elements beat down on them.
