Choosing Your Screen Tight Cap Size

3.5" Cap
Best for larger porch screen enclosures, complex layouts with multiple angles or projects where you want maximum visual impact. Pair it with durable pet resistant screen for high-traffic areas and homes with pets. Recommended for spaces over 200 square feet.
