Hello Paris!

Perhaps you might wish to consider the screen tight system?

We had ours installed in 2015 -with remodel and addition- to our surprise it’s a wonderful system.

It consists of the regular fiberglass mesh screening stuffed into an edge frame sealed with rope like stretchy spline and has a plastic snaps on Tupperware type sealing strip to cover your raw edge.

We just repaired a huge panel after a dog excitement accident. It was pretty easy to work with. We just bought replacement screen + tub of the spline and a hand spline tool and the job was completed without much effort. I would say its diy friendly....at least the repair was. It was far easier than a more old-school staple screen and cover with it with wood —system that we had a prior residence.
