Any suggestions - Ozankoy area?

Cat proof if possible!

Thanks

All half decent yapı markets sell fly screen netting from rolls. Cheap enough and easy to replace existing netting if the black beading is ok to reuse.

Unlikely to be cat proof if your cats have a tendency to climb up or hand off the fly screen.

You would probably need wire mesh, not rust proof and of a similar fine mesh to fly screen, not available either.

Cats would still open up fine wire mesh creating gaps wide enough for flies to get through.

Just a thought -

Because of the very tiny 'no-see-ums' - sandflies or whatever, - I spray my flyscreen mesh with Sertex fluid once every few months in the Summer.

It seems to keep the buggers out!

This would probably cause metal mesh to rust, so don't blame me ...

The row of shops, on the coast road heading from Catalkoy to Alagadi, that are on the right before the turning to go right to the Chamada Hotel (Old Malpas) the first shop is something Blue.. Maybe Blue Island.
Hope this helps.

I took all my door and window fly screens/frames to Blue Island.
They replaced the plastic corners and nets.
Good as new.
I was happy with the quality and price.
I would definitely go back to them in the future :+1:)
Unfortunately haven't found any that are cat proof.

Navek - do you have a telephone number for Blue Island?

Got a price from Tescomar (in sterling!) but just want to compare.

Thanks

Hi DottieO

Blue Island
0392 824 56 95
0533 864 65 33

I took our screens in as required, maybe 2 years ago.
English is not their first language.
Might be better if you had a local/Turkish speaker, with you.
Good luck.

Muslum in arapkoy. Used him for 10 years for mesh, aluminium, glass. Beats everyone on price & does a great job. Lovely guy but you'll need Google translate when dealing with him.

Thanks to all.

Job done now by Tescomar in Çatalköy - great efficient service.

Another company quoted me £65 MORE for the same job!
