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.

Yeah that would work it's pretty thick. If you're paranoid you can get another clear one. It's personal preference. Works solo too

My patio is covered ... and it works fine. In fact, having a cover limits the paths birds can use to get in, and it might work better.

I took out a 10x10 patio and part of a sidewalk. Slow going as it is not industrial, but it should do the job. I still have mine and it is in good shape.

I am sorry, but I haven't used the screening as it is too small for my screen door. But I do think that cats nails won't tear the screening material since it is very thick and heavy "pet" screening.

No you shouldnt have any problem with a 92" to 115" outside. Mine is an 80" screen which the BenQ can totally cover from 5 feet away.

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.

The screen is aluminum unlike the other screen cages on the market which are actually Teflon-coated steel that rusts (test them with a magnet). It is the same quality/thickness as window screening.

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.

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.

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.

It is somewhat thicker than normal screening. That being said I used it to replace the screen in my sliding door. It took a bit of effort with a spline tool but it worked in my case. I was concerned it would be too thick, but decided if it didn't work I would trim it for a ripped window screen. Some people suggest using a thinner spline to make installation easier.

Yes I have. We have vinyl posts and didn't want to drill into them, so we zip-tied 2x4s to the posts and drilled into that. Our porch is covered, so the gate isn't exposed to all the elements, but it has held up well for over a year now.

It might. But your best bet would be a retractable pull down screen for outdoor.

Used for camping only. Screening is all four sides. Water resistant only, so we cover it with a plastic tarp.

Yes, I use it on my screen porch. We have wicked pollen in in the spring and this keeps it out and it stays clear. This is my second year.

i use this outdoors on my covered patio. the 3 flat wood pot holder surfaces may not do well on uncovered area that is exposed to all the elements
