Saint-Gobain ADFORS FCS8988-M 70587 Premium Pet Screen, 36" x 84", Charcoal

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.

I have two cats, one is an avid climber. They are inside only cats (I live near open desert that is full of coyotes), but I like to leave the door open with the screen door secured shut so they can enjoy the air and sounds of outside, but I did not trust the standard screen material to stand up to their claws. Damage is one thing, but I definitely did not want them to tear the screen out enough to escape the house when I was in another room. So I was hoping to find a screen material stout enough to give me the peace of mind to keep the door open during the pleasant months, so I gave this one a try.Soon after installation I heard the familiar sound of claws testing out the new screen door. Despite even finding one cat 6 feet off the ground climbing up the screen, there was not a hint of damage to the screen material! Its has also held in the sliding door frame very well, even with the weight of the cat suspended on it. No bulges or sags!The screen takes some elbow grease to install- definitely invest a few bucks in a metal roller- but I think it is easier to get a clean and taught install with this screen than with the standard stuff, maybe because it is thicker and doesn't get stretched out of shape as easily. I found rolling the screen into the groove with the round edge of the roller first, then using short quick strokes to push in the spline with the concave side made the installation go the fastest.I used a 0.135 dia spline (it was oddly hard to search for that size on here but the model number ended up being Prime-Line Products P 7631) which worked perfectly. It was a tight fit but not impossible and seems to hold the screen in nice and strong. As near as I can measure the original spline in my door was .140 inch dia., so I used one just the tiniest bit smaller for the new material.Its definitely a darker, more visible screen than the standard ones, but the peace of mind is worth it and then some. Plus it actually looks nice when the screen is clean and straight, not all bulging out and full of holes and rips like so many screens I have had in the past.I have had it installed for over 4 months now and there are still no rips or tears anywhere and I have not had to adjust anything despite cats climbing, scratching at it, and bouncing off of it while chasing their toys. The fact that this stuff is only a few dollars more expensive than the standard fiberglass screen is astonishing, I think it is worth many times the price!

UPDATE March 24, 2020. I still absolutely love this screen. It's held up like a champ.OK, here's my two cents on this product.First and foremost, replacing screens period is NOT an easy task. Does not matter what material you use. It sucks! Which is why I gave it a 3 stars when it asks if it is easy to install. Only plus is that you won't tear up your hands like screen mesh does. So, 5 stars on this being a "no boo boos here, move along please!" product.Secondly, it's not a half day job, so stop right now and understand that it WILL take you an entire weekend to replace your screens if you have more than one to replace. I had 10. A week later and I have 3 more to do. Had to order another roll.OK, on to my review. I LOVE this pet screen. Totally worth the effort. Love the price. I have a 20 pound Maine Coon that loves to get our attention by jumping on the screens. He completely destroyed the original ones. I had 10 screens to replace, because of this fiesty stinker of ours.I reused the spine from the original screen windows since this is ONLY a roll of screen that you are buying. It's not a kit.My only issue with it (but I easily fixed it without causing a stink) was that part of the screen had uncolored spots. I simply took a permanent marker to it and you can't even see it now. Too easy! I posted pictures so you can see the difference between my old screen and the new pet screen. I also love the darker shade. More privacy for us.BTW, my cat jumped on the new screens almost as soon as I got them in and they easily held up to his clawing. I'm happy! 💜 I totally recommend this product. I wish I had found it years ago.

My seventeen pound cat was "caught" hanging on the screen and not a single tear, hole or rip. I've told all of my pet owner friends about this wonderful product.

I bought the pet resistant screen. It is a heavier plastic-like material which is noticeably dark and thicker than the standard wire it replaced. It appears heavy-duty and sturdy. I bought the metal roller tool with the wooden handle and also used a very small, thin, flat headed screw driver. I bought the Adfors Multipack of splines with several different widths.It is a bit difficult to tell the difference but the roller tool has two different wheels. The thicker wheel is to push the screen into the screen's groove, the thinner wheel is to push the spline into that groove so the screen stays put.The problem is that the pet screen is very thick and the groove it fits into on the screen's frame is not. I used the thinnest spline and it was a multi-day chore to get it inserted. I used the thin screen driver to push in the corners. The parts with the metal clips (used to pull the screen out) were very hard, the spline really does not fit into the groove there because the metal clips take up some space so I hope it holds.I used the 0.125" x 20' spline (the thinnest one in the Adfors Multipack) and it only did 1 screen. The screen material itself looks as if it will hold up to cats on one side and squirrels on the other. Whether the spline holds the screen in the screen frame is yet to be seen.
