A failed fence screen isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a potential liability and an unnecessary expense. So, how can you tell if a windscreen will last before you buy it?
The secret isn’t just in the fabric; it’s in the finishing. Here’s what separates a temporary fix from a long-term solution.
The Foundation of Durability: Reinforced Hems on All Four Sides
At Midwest Cover, our standard is four-ply reinforced hems. We meticulously fold and stitch the material on all four sides, creating a super-durable border that acts as the screen’s skeleton. This robust edge distributes wind load evenly and is the first line of defense against the tears that cause tearing and ripping. Get quality for both temporary and permanent fence screen installs. Construction and Permascreen materials are our most popular fence cover materials.
The Unsung Heroes: Industrial-Grade Grommets
Grommets are the small but mighty details that hold everything together. Inferior screens use cheap metal grommets that rust, stain your screen, and tear out from the fabric under pressure.
Our fence screens feature weatherproof brass grommets strategically placed along the reinforced hems on all sides. This provides two key benefits:
- Strength: The grommets are set within the four-ply hems, ensuring they have a powerful grip on the material.
- Longevity: They won’t rust or corrode, guaranteeing a secure installation point for years to come.
This commitment to quality construction means your screen installs securely and, more importantly, stays that way.
