When pet screen makes sense
If the same lower panel keeps tearing, if your dog watches squirrels like it is a full-time job, or if the cat has decided the lanai wall is a climbing toy, pet-resistant mesh can save repeated repairs. It is thicker than standard fiberglass and designed for impact and abrasion.
Pet mesh is commonly used on door panels, lower wall panels, and corners where animals push, scratch, or lean. It can be mixed with standard mesh across the rest of the enclosure so you are not paying for heavy-duty material where it is not needed.
