The existing nets had holes from sun damage. They replaced them with UV-resistant mesh that should last much longer.

We wanted nets that wouldn't block the view too much. They installed very fine black mesh that's almost invisible from inside. Perfect.

The nets in the guest room were torn and looked messy. They replaced them with new fiberglass mesh and the room looks fresh again.
