Does this come in any other colors or is there a similar product that comes in bronze or brown?
Asked by Meggan April 7, 20201
AnswerIt also comes in Bronze but in a different size.
will it keep bird mess if I put it around bird cage
Asked by Anthony May 21, 20192
AnswersYes, it probably will because the mesh is very tight. But the droppings may stay within the fibers and may be difficult to clean out unless you spray it with water. I used the mesh on my front door screen and it does have some dirt and grime already in the fibers, but nothing I can't live with.

Customer review from homedepot.ca 
Purchased this to repair two 6' x 2' panels on my screened porch (squirrels ripped through for some cooling cookies). Was the perfect replacement and saved me $$$ over having it done in a repair shop.

There are many different colors and styles of screen fabric.
My wife and I didn't want dark black and were even thinking about the silver/gray fiberglass fabric but eventually decided on the BetterVue after seeing a video of how it looked.
We were impressed with the product especially how it looks once installed.
While it is black, it doesn't show up as a dark black screen which is common in our neighborhood and isn't what we wanted.
The BetterVue screen was just what we wanted. It is there but doesn't stand out.
I replaced the screen fabric in 11 screens with the BetterVuew fabric.
It installed fairly easily using Phifer spline and their Screen mouse.
I had no issues with tearing during the installation. The key is to use the proper sized spline and tape the frame down while installing the spline.
In my case some screen frames used .140 and some used .125
Overall, I really liked the product. It was easy to cut, installed easily and looks great.

April 23, 2019
Needed to replace screens on my sunroom. Sand Hill cranes and Turkeys fight with their reflections and leave holes that are unsightly and let bugs in. Many options in screening that I didn't realize but employees in Windows and Doors were mist helpful. I also bought 100ft. of 3/16 cording for installation. I already had the screening tool that makes installation simple. You will need a flat service to give you a good work service. Plywood across 2 saw horses is a good solution. I purchased black fiberglass screening as it is flexible and easy to work with. Use sharp razorblades to remove excess screening to minimize frustration.
A bit thin but worked for my project and it looks great AND no more bugs!

Beautiful view with new screen
August 9, 2016
Screen is nearly invisible. Keeps the bugs out but retains the view!
Looks good, somewhat delicate
June 25, 2016
Used this to replace seven window screens, with plenty left over. Worked fine, easy to cut, and easy enough to get tight with some practice. I did find that the material is very delicate -- I nicked or tore it several times with the spline tool.
Wonderful screen
November 12, 2014
We used this screen with the Screen Tight system to rescreen our porch and it worked wonderfully. Purchased a longer/wider roll from Lowe's but ended up needing more, and this was a better value for the amount we needed. (It's got a different name at Lowe's, but same brand and description, and the product is the same - can't tell a difference at all, even now that it's installed on the porch.) We have only had it for a month so I can't attest to durability, but it does a good job keeping the bugs out and doesn't obstruct the view.

Good value. I did 5 screen windows and they look great, especially from the outside. My old ones were starting to turn white and one had a hole in it.
There was a sheet of instructions with it that will help a novice.
Yes, I would purchase again.
