[QUOTE=GeoGeo;1098327So a determined animal can go through screening. I don't know if it makes a difference them pushing against it one direction or the other (pushing out vs in).[/QUOTE]

If a larger predator could push inward through the screen on a lanai and the door to the house is open, what is to keep a larger predator such as a coyote or a black bear from pushing in the screen and coming (not only onto the lanai) but into the house?

Also, a determined burglar could do the same thing.

Probably deadbolt locking the door from the lanai to the house every night is the best idea.
