Had a screen with 7 or 8 holes ranging from a thin slit to something you could easily put a golf ball through.
Years ago, I'd used patches you had to sort of clip on by bending the mesh prongs so they intertwined with the intact screen around the hole. They were effective at blocking holes but were super tedious to put up.
I hoped that in the ensuing decade or so, something better had come along. And sure enough, this is significantly better.
Cheap, easy to cut, easy to remove the backing, easy to install, and it works. I patched all of the holes in about 15 minutes (note: if the screen isn't taut, you'd do well to have somebody on the other side hold a sturdy object up to the hole to give you something to press against...we used a foam yoga block).
These aren't invisible by any means. They're at least as noticeable as the holes themselves...maybe more. If you're in the market for a seamless, invisible fix, you're going to need to rescreen the whole thing. But if you want cheap, easy, and effective, this is your product.
I'll update if they seem to fall off sooner than I hope, but it's been a few weeks and some heavy rains and so far, so good.
