Il n\u2019existe pas une seule et unique moustiquaire id\u00e9ale pour un abri de piscine<\/h2>\n

Un abri de piscine remplit plusieurs fonctions sous une m\u00eame structure. Le toit est expos\u00e9 directement au soleil et aux d\u00e9bris qui tombent. Les panneaux lat\u00e9raux d\u00e9terminent la vue et la circulation de l\u2019air. Les portes et les panneaux inf\u00e9rieurs subissent les chocs caus\u00e9s par les personnes, les animaux et le mat\u00e9riel de piscine. Une seule toile remplit rarement bien ces trois fonctions, c\u2019est pourquoi chaque installateur donne une r\u00e9ponse diff\u00e9rente \u00e0 la question de savoir quelle est \u201c la meilleure moustiquaire pour un abri de piscine \u201d.<\/p>\n

Moustiquaires pour piscines et patios de notre gamme : mod\u00e8les et chiffres<\/h2>\n

Nothing stops a specifier from using different meshes on one enclosure. Each is a separate roll, so the order simply splits by zone. The roof row is where fabric weight deserves the closest look, because that panel carries the most sun and debris load; the table is a starting shortlist, and the spec sheet for the model decides.<\/p>\n

17\u00d714 against 20\u00d720: what you give up<\/h2>\n

The first number is threads per inch in one direction and the second is threads per inch in the other. A 17\u00d714 mesh<\/a> therefore has a rectangular opening, and a 20\u00d720 mesh has a square, smaller one.
\nThe smaller opening is the reason no-see-um screen exists: it is the option for buyers whose complaint is tiny insects getting through. The cost is that more threads per inch leave less open area, so airflow and view drop compared with 17\u00d714 or 18\u00d714 of similar construction. No single percentage applies to every model, so ask for open-area data on the specific pair you are comparing.
\nWhich way to lean depends on the complaint. If the complaint is no-see-ums, a 17\u00d714 wall panel will not fix it. If the complaint is a stuffy enclosure, putting 20\u00d720 on every panel will make it worse. Mixing counts by zone avoids both.<\/p>\n

\"Heavy-Duty<\/p>\n

Mesh count does not tell you the fabric weight<\/h2>\n

Three 20\u00d720 products in our displayed examples weigh approximately 176, 215 and 305 g\/m\u00b2. That is a spread of roughly 130 g\/m\u00b2 at the same mesh count. A buyer comparing “20\u00d720” quotes line by line may be comparing three different fabrics.
\nA usable quote comparison lists four items per line: mesh count, fabric weight, material and roll size. Weight is also not a strength rating.<\/p>\n

Where 80% and 90% solar screen belongs<\/h2>\n

Solar screen is offered in 80% and 90% options. It belongs on specific panels, usually the ones that face the afternoon sun, rather than across the whole cage. The trade-off is the one you would expect: a screen made to cut solar load also cuts light and view, so a full-cage installation changes how the enclosure feels. Ask the supplier what the percentage refers to and what test basis stands behind it before you put the number in a catalog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Six steps to specify a pool cage screen order<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Split a typical enclosure into zones: roof, walls, doors and lower panels, sun-facing panels.<\/li>\n
  2. Shortlist one mesh per zone from the tables above, written as count, weight and material.<\/li>\n
  3. Request the spec sheet for each model. For any claim you plan to repeat, such as Florida Building Code-related references, GREENGUARD Gold, QUV weathering tests, REACH, RoHS or CE, request the report itself and read which exact model it covers, who issued it, its number and whether it is still valid. Our catalog references these for parts of the pool-screen portfolio, and scope is confirmed model by model.<\/li>\n
  4. Order samples. Some products and customized samples carry a sample fee, with the FAQ referencing approximately USD 50 to 200. That figure is sample policy and not a product price.<\/li>\n
  5. Confirm roll width and length, which can be customized, and the MOQ. A publicly presented example for screen mesh is approximately 5,000 m\u00b2, and it varies by material, model, color, packaging and customization.<\/li>\n
  6. Confirm lead time. Website guidance puts standard production at approximately 30 to 45 days and simple customization at approximately 6 to 8 weeks, to be confirmed per order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pricing is quotation-based. Mesh count, fabric weight, roll width and length, color, packaging, customization level<\/a>, order quantity, shipping terms and destination market all move the number.<\/p>\n

    FAQ<\/h2>\n

    What mesh count is used for a pool cage? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    In our pool and patio range, 17\u00d714 and 18\u00d714 are the general-purpose counts for large openings. 20\u00d717 and 20\u00d720 are finer options, with 20\u00d720 no-see-um offered for small-insect protection.<\/p>\n

    Can one enclosure use more than one mesh?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes. Each mesh is a separate roll, so the order splits by zone. Typical splits are heavier fabric on the roof, a lighter or enhanced-visibility mesh on the walls, and solar screen on sun-facing panels.<\/p>\n

    Does a higher mesh count mean a stronger fabric? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    No. Three 20\u00d720 examples in our range sit at roughly 176, 215 and 305 g\/m\u00b2. Count describes the opening, while weight and material describe the fabric. Strength claims need a test report for the specific model.<\/p>\n

    Is 80% or 90% solar screen right for the whole cage? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is specified for particular panels. Check what the percentage measures and the test basis, then decide how much light and view you are willing to trade away on each panel.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0What does pool cage screen cost per roll? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Pricing is quotation-based and depends on mesh count, fabric weight, roll size, color, packaging, customization, quantity, shipping terms and destination. We do not publish a price range.<\/p>\n

    Can you customize mesh count and weight for private label? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Custom mesh count, weight, stiffness, roll dimensions, packaging, barcodes and multi-language instructions are part of our OEM and ODM scope. Website guidance for development runs approximately 6 to 8 weeks for simple customization, 10 to 14 for moderate development and 16 to 20 for full ODM, all confirmed per project.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
