Our cage screens seemed to start ripping after about 8 years and then it was a few different panels every year. Our cage had south and west exposures so was in the sun almost all day long. We also had problems in a few corners where the birds pecked holes in the screens, apparently going after the little lizards.
Our neighbor had problems with palms ripping screens especially when blowing around during wind storms until he cut them down and replanted away from the cage. A friend in a "tree area" who had a built-in summer kitchen has squirrel problems unless they clean up everything carefully after use.
But, with all the problems,we think you still can't beat a good bird cage. That's what Florida living is all about.
