We are having a birdcage built and our builder, T&D, gave us a choice of screening material. We are going to use 18/14 for the front and sides but the roof is questionable.

We have a southern exposure and the sun beats down something awful in the afternoon. We were wondering about the other screening meshes. There is a 20/20 and there is something called sun screen. Do any of you have any experience with either of those two choices? If you got the 20/20 are you happy with it or do you wish you got the sun screen? If you got the sun screen do you wish you got the 20/20? Is the sun screen too dark? Does it lower the temperature?

We know that there is added expense with either choice so please do not factor that into your answer. We would just like the pros and cons of the products.

Thank you in advance.
