Screened Porch questions

| 1. What screen material do you folks recommend? I understand it comes in
aluminum, plastic, etc.. Durability, ease of installation?
2. What is the largest span the screen material can go between wood
members that it is attached/stapled to? A related question, I suppose,
would be how wide do they sell the stuff?
Any other pointers in porch design greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

For the best job, use Pet Screen (or the Lowe's brand, Pet-something),
and use Screen Tight strips, also sold at Lowe's. The materials will be
more expensive than regular, but you won't have to do a repair later
on.
