Works great with cats
Same product I've gotten locally in a big box store, slightly better value and delivered to me. Used to replace screens in all my windows, about four rolls needed, our three cats made holes in the original screens. This replacement isn't too hard to install with the correct tools and proper size spline. Quality seems top notch, the cats can get their claws stuck in this screening and not tear it. Took a while to get to all the screens, the oldest replacements are now several years old and still holding up perfectly.

Used on all my screens.
Needed to rescreen my bedroom window screens. I have used this type, and brand of material before. I like its durability and appearance.

VERY tough screen, not too bad to install, a little darker than standard charcoal screening
I have a new indoor cat and needed to rescreen my front screen door to protect my 8 month old kitten against some of the roaming 15 pound felines running about . I thought about using aluminum screen and while it's tougher than fiberglass, it still has disadvantages because it dents, can still be torn, isn't intended to be pet proof, the wires can get pulled apart and it can be sort of a pain to install if you are not experienced/careful.Pet D-Fence Pros:1.) VERY tough nylon or heavy duty fiberglass material - far tougher than I thought it would be.2.) Decent transparency. It's darker than standard charcoal fiberglass screen but it also makes it harder for people walking by to peek into my front door during the day but no so much at night3.) Easy to install relative to aluminum screen and more tolerant of screen spline roller slips than either fiberglass or aluminum screen4.) Simple tools required for installation - screen roller, new screen bead if required, a slot blade screwdriver, razor knife with new blade or you can farm it out to the local hardware store5.) Adds a lot of stability and rigidity to a screen frame6.) (NEW) This screen deflects 90% of the sunlight and heat away from my front door. See my update comments at the end of this reviewCons:None really but see the section below on "things to know".Things to know:1.) I saw some comments from other reviewers that this screen is too thick to install. That may happen if you have very narrow screen channels but there are techniques to try before abandoning hope. You may actually need smaller diameter screen spline.2.) Another approach to try rather than buying new screen spline is to simply press about one inch of the existing spline in place with regular slot screw driver blade at a corner and then gently pull the spline to stretch it, reducing it's diameter and then roll it into place with a spline roller - that's what I did.3.) I did not list the extra thickness as a "con" because D-Fence screen is made to be tougher/thicker.4.) Be aware that when stretching the screen spline it is important to use a very stable work table. Having a second set of hands and strong forearms also helps with installation. I did mine solo and it came out nearly perfect with patience5.) The D-Fence product does darkens the look of the screen and some of the outward visibility even in daylight because the mesh is thicker. It's fine with me because I want protection for my cat and I think the darker color looks fine but you might not agree.6.) I used a few small wood shop style 2" spring clips with a wooden ruler to hold the screen in place so I would not scratch the screen frame when setting the bead. Other options are using medium sized metal binder clips used in offices for large stacks of paper or having a second person simply maintain pressure by gently pulling the screen tight.The photo below shows standard charcoal fiberglass screen on the left and the D-Fence screen on the right.In summary, I really like this product, ordered two more rolls from Amazon.. I have NOT accepted ANY discount or free product for my review.5/30/16 update - The screen easily withstood a mauling from a large neighborhood cat two nights ago. Not a mark on it after the other 15 pound cat climbed half way up the screen. One other interesting side note. My home faces east and my main entry door gets REALLY hot in the morning sun with a standard screen in place. With the pet d-fence screen in place, the door never gets above about 100 degrees - the heavier mesh reflects all the heat. That latter fact alone is enough to get me to buy this product.7/16/16 update - I used Pet-Defence screen on a rear house screen after an local cat clawed my original Marvin fiberglass screen up trying to get into a fight with my indoor cat. Last night the same outdoor cat launched another attack at my cat who was sitting in the window with the Pet-Defense screen. The other cat bounced off the heavy duty pet screen. I was sitting on the sofa 5 feet away and it was loud and pretty funny. No damage to the new Pet-Defence screen but the other cat has to be scratching it's head wondering what happened. I bought a new, larger screen roller and I "pre-roll" the Pet-Defence into the screen notch with the convex side and then add the spline pressing it into place with the concave side of the roller. Great screen for defusing cat fights!

Very strong, durable, very easy to see through
I am very impressed, it is strong flexible sturdy, easy to use, easy to see through. Ive rescreened many windows through the years. This is the first time we bought a Pet- sturdy kind. I was worried it would be too stiff to use- no, it's actually easier to pull and align because it's strong. We needed to update the screen door because the new kitten had 'improved' the old one. This is SO MUCH BETTER. You can see in the photo where we added a cat door. Sadly the cat door is a bit small and stiff so not as good as the new screen. This photo is of it being worked on and stapled on the frame then a wood screen moulding made to cover screen edges is nail-gunned on top . Old style.

I would give it 6 stars but the install was a lil tough
This thing is Amazing .. I was trying to re-invent the wheel .. I though I was Gonna Build this New Pet Door for Screen Doors .. then someone said ... they have tougher Screens .. just reline your screen door. Well here we are .. almost a year later this screen has taken Punishment after punishment .. Dogs slamming into it .. Dogs clawing at it cause they want inside ... This thing is still holding up .. not one tare ...I would give it 6 stars but the install was a lil tough ... you get a flimsy plastic wheel type thing to help you push the rubber lining and screen into the grooves ... Well this tool is designed for this but feels so awkward .. I just think because of the thicker screen fabric its 10 times harder to get the screen and the rubber liner into the slot .. you really have to put some muscle into it .. but I did eventually get it. the other downside it the screen is very tough .. so after install and you wanna clean up the edges you gotta cut it .. Well let me tell you .. cutting this thing was a lil difficult as well .. felt like an hour long work out. would buy this again and have thought about lining other screen doors ..

Very sturdy screen!
This is a great product! I have a cat who’s got strong hunter instincts and also happens to be an orange cat lol if you know, you know! Every time I opens my slider she would jump on my d so screen door trying to hunt birds or anything else that moved! I replaced the damaged screen and this has held up tremendously well!!! I’m going to replace all of my screens with this product, it was easy to do!
