The cat I never wanted has climbed the screen on our porch and ripped it down from the top to escape numerous times
I took down the trim and re-screened and re-trimmed. He laughed at that and was out again in a matter of hours. I kinda wish he would stay out, but wife and kids say otherwise
I bought some heavier duty screen and did 2 sample sections last night
1 I just used staple gun around the edges. The other I bought the channel frame stuff and used spline to attach it. The end result was essentially the same. The channel frame is too thick to put the trim back over the top and would just have a vinyl cover thing.
Staple gun seems easier and equally strong and the trim would go back and look nice again.
Do I NEED to do the frame thing for some reason?

Screen?

We have no screen. Our manservant, Chilton, has one of those electric tennis racquet things and fends off any and all insects that try to invade our space.

To fend off family requests for a—-ugh—-cat, it might be time to check into a battered men’s shelter.
