It would be nice if repaired screens could be put on the inside, rather than
the outside as original.
The white screen, mounted on the outside......is bound to deteriorate pretty
easily............because..........it gets wet at night from moisture and
dew ( unless in the desert or something ) .........then sunlight hits it
...........that's how you make drift wood - alternate moisture at night,
sunlight in the daytime.

Check out any serious mountaineering tent, the screen is always on the
inside, the coated outer 'weathershield' is on the outside. As if that is so
hard to figure out !
lol,
Scott
