                  A:  I did not know the answer to this to start with, but found this excellent article which explains it. Essentially, it is the number of openings in one square inch of the material. How to Determine the Mesh Size of a Window Screen Some large glass patio doors have screens installed. Related Articles Re-Screen & Cat-Proof Window Screens Attach a Wire Mesh to a Wood Screen Get a Screen Out of a Window Put a Mesh Screen on an Attic Vent Window screens consist of mesh made with aluminum wire, fiberglass or synthetic fibers such as plastic or polyester. The size of the mesh refers to the number of spaces that exist within a square inch of the woven material. Different types of window screens are used for a variety purposes; for instance, smaller screens are used to keep out tiny insects such as gnats. Solar insect screens not only keep out bugs, but reflect solar heat and sun light to block up to 90 percent of sunlight and heat from entering your home during summer months. Template Cut a 1-inch-by-1-inch square from the center of a piece of paper to make a counting template. The mesh size is determined by counting the number of openings it has per square inch. The paper cut out will help you keep track of the line of openings as you count them. Align the edges of the cut out square with the warp or wires that form horizontal and vertical lines in the mesh. Hold the paper in place on the window screen with tape. Count Count the number of tiny square openings made by the mesh wires in a straight line across from the top left corner over to the top right corner. This is the first number of the mesh size called the warp or foundation of the mesh. Next, count the number of tiny square openings in a straight line from the top left corner down to the bottom left corner. This is the second number of the mesh size, called the fill or width of the mesh. These two dimensions are the size of the mesh. For instance, 18 warp openings and 16 fill openings means that the window screen mesh size is 18-by-16, which is written as "18x16" on the screen packaging. Measure The diameter of mesh size refers to the diameter or width of the wire or threads of the mesh. Use digital calipers to measure the diameter of the wires or threads of the window screen. Set the caliper jaws over the screen mesh and close them to take a reading and find the diameter of the mesh. If you do not have access to digital calipers, there are wire cloth or mesh calculators available online that you can use to find the wire mesh diameter. Screen Selection Some window screen meshes are coated or laminated with a layer of plastic, making them more durable to encounters with pet paws or inquisitive children's hands pressing on them. The standard window screen mesh is 18-by-16 and made out of fiberglass or aluminum. Patio, porch or pool side screens have a mesh size of 18-by-14. The smallest sized mesh is 20-by-20; the tightly woven mesh allows for ventilation while still keeping out tiny insects.

                    A:  Look at a 'square inch' of the screen and count the number of tiny square openings made by the mesh wires in a straight line across from the top left corner over to the top right corner. This is the first number of the mesh size called the warp or foundation of the mesh. Next, count the number of tiny square openings in a straight line from the top left corner down to the bottom left corner.

                          A:  They may try but by doing so the chewed screen sections are very sharp and should deter even the most persistent mouse.

                                A:  I believe cats could claw through and the resulting sharp edges would cut their paws resulting in some injury.

                                A:  Seems like it would be uncomfortable for a cat to claw it.
