I am in the process of making a privacy screen for my back yard. I was wondering if this product is durable enough?

I have only used it to cover the insides of windows, so don't know how well it will last outdoors. I think it's not strong enough to resist tearing via impaction of sharp objects. But it is reasonably strong. If I were to consider outdoor usage, as you are, then I would buy one roll and give it a try. Just be sure to attach it to your support points/framing such that those points don't initiate tearing under stress (wind, etc.). I suspect it may prove adequate.

I use this material to cover a kitchen garden window that gets too much sun at certain times of they day. I have in the past got shade screen from nurseries and awning shops to cover a large green house which was more durable than this material.

I don't think it would be very durable by itself, but if you were to use it with something it can be attached to or mounted on. the only problem is that it could be vulnerable to cutting and punctures when its outside.

I have also just used it on my windows. It would need to be attached to something to stay secure. Tape will not stick to it. You would probably have to use nails. Thinking of using this also when I enclose my covered patio. Good luck!

I would say no I ended up getting screens that were made of pets and just doubled the screen in the window, didn't seem to block airflow to much and you can't really see in during the day, night time its the opposite you can see in as the light changes but I find that to be the case with almost any privacy DIY things I've tried ...good luck

Hi Colin! It is not a gorilla screen but I think it is very durable. My kids are rough too especially my 3y/o boy! I highly recommend it :) Hope this helps. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

I live in Colorado and I use it under my deck, which is open on all sides but of course the deck above give it some protection. It has weathered the blistering summer from last year and gone through rain and snow and is still looking new. Rain and water seem to bead up and roll off. For the price I don't think you can beat it. I bought two due to the size of the area I wanted to work in.

Its a pretty heavy duty vinyl sticker, it might be ok under a porch? Bit Im not so sure how well the adhesive would fair through the elements. Its deffinately an awesome product

The screen slides into a hard cover. So should be very durable. You might want to get a soft laptop cover to be safe.

Good morning. We use it for a similar situation, but did not try to adhere it to the glass. We hung the screen from grommets and had great success with that. The weight of the screen itself kept it smooth. Our area was enclosed and we did not have to worry about drafts or movement rippling the screen.

I use it to cover an iron gate to stop the cats going into next door's yard. We live in 110 degrees heat and humidity in Africa and it is still going strong after a year. So yes, it is durable!

You realilze that this is a roll of screen (soft and plyable like fabric) that is meant to be mounted in a frame? You might be able to use it to fence a yard but it would depend on what you would use to mount it. And it would probably take quite a few rolls of this to do it. I think that there are better options and probably less expensive options for you to fence the yard with. It is strong but very, very flexible.

absolutely. It's a wonderful product. My husband actually splined this into screens for our screen porch and it was a clear view and very strong.

My daughter is the mascot for her school. I used this on plexiglass as part of a prop. We used the full size & only had to trim millimeters off the edges with a blade. It handled very well. The prop has been tossed around by teenagers in all kinds of elements and has held up beautifully. I'm not sure about how it would hold up outdoors long-term. I can say I tried many other products & was most pleased with this product. It was easy to apply, had a smoother finish than any other (no bubbles), & has a true mirror finish you can see yourself in. Hope that helps!

I can't vouch for how well it will hold up against a big dog, but my cats have scratched at it and climbed on it and they haven't been able to even dent the screening. I would give it a try if I were you. I recommend that you go with narrow spline because this screening is thicker than standard screening, so you have to work a bit to get the spline into the frame. I installed mine 14 months ago and it looks as good as new.

This screen is not strong enough to use as protection for close up front toss. I have not found a good portable for that. This screen will protect from further away if you stay 4-5 feet behind it.

well, Ive never used it for permanent outdoor projects, but my guess is that it would hold up. It cures to be as hard as resin, much tougher than a polymer clay.

I have not installed it yet, but for other similar ones I have used, the screen is washable and should last fairly long

I have been very pleased with these screens. I am use them in my Arizona condo in a room with a tile floor. If you get water on them it leaves a mark. If you do not brace them with something the will blow over in the wind. I love them because they are an extremely attractive and easy solution for providing privacy and multiple uses in my living room. I personally would not use them outdoors or in a damp area.

I really do not know if it would be durable enough. The outside material is similar to landscaping fabric. You would have to weigh it down with something heavy. I'm afraid a high wind would cause it to tear. Is it possible for you to place it inside the area you are concerned about, such as on the inside edge of a garage door?

This shade is extremely durable. Granted I live in California where our winds are not the strongest. We do have Santa Ana winds (not sure if you've heard of them), but our shade has lasted through those with no problem. We take it down in the winter and store it. Our shade is connected to the house (wood overhang), our backhouse porch cover (part of the backhouse, made of wood) and a metal pole attached to our wood fence (the fence is close to 20 years old). It hasn't caused any damage to our structures or fence. I hope this helps.
