CommentsInsect screens are available in a wide range of colors and materials, including fiberglass, polyester, aluminum, copper, epoxy-coated and more. Depending on the type and manufacturer, they are available in rolls (such as 100' foot rolls, for example) in widths from 12" to 108". The dimensions you're considering are larger than typical rolls. One source you might contact is Connecticut Screen Works at http://www.connscreen.com - as they offer a wide range of materials and may be able to recommend the best material for your application. Given the large spans you're considering, a stiffer material will provide better performance, such as a metalized screen mesh. Fiberglass will tend to sag and is easily damaged by high winds or falling debris. You may consider providing some intermediate vertical supports between your posts, which would enable you to use a readily available product of reasonable proportions. Builders Websource
