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
