Re: [nafex] screen



Hello,

Does the fiberglass screening keep out mice and rabbits?

A double wrap of fiberglass screening is not as tough as metal screening,
but seems as though it should be some detterent.

Anyone tried it?  

I started collecting screen from the hardware store, but so far all he ha
had is fiberglass.

Regards,
Tom
