What are some alternatives to screen for a porch enclosure?

Question

So, I have a screen porch attached to my house. The problem is that I'd like my cats to be able to spend some time out there, but I'm afraid they will claw through the screen and escape. I don't want them to be indoor/outdoor cats because that's just too much trouble, especially with the stray cat population around my house. So, I'm looking for an alternative that I could possibly replace the screen with or maybe even reinforce the screen. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Check for the pet screen kit on google. But I know they have it at  improvementscatalog.com

And you might want to put something decorative, over some of the area, like lattice - in plastic, it comes in all kinds of colors now and you can get it at home improvement stores.  But if your cats have claws they may try to climb it (cut it will save your screens if it is a small weave lattice

Answer 2

you could use aluminum or glass, plexiglass.  i don't know the specific installation instructions for replacing the screen, but i'm sure if you looked in your phone book and called some screened porch companies, they would help.  good luck!
