Pros
- Vinyl-coated polyester is roughly 3x stronger than fiberglass — resists tears, punctures, pets, and wind, holds tension
- Highest-rated mesh here (4.8★ across 206) and sold in true cage-width rolls (up to 120 in.)
- Costs only a bit more per square foot than fiberglass but lasts far longer (marketed 10–20+ years), so the best cost per year
Cons
- Costs more up front than standard fiberglass
- Determined squirrels can still cut through it (one owner's note) — no mesh is rodent-proof
- Slightly less airflow than open 18x14, and darker if you pick a heavier weave
It tears more easily than the strength numbers suggest — a cat will climb through it — it can pull back out of the spline channel, and the 17/14 mesh does not stop the smallest bugs.
