Ditto from my experience, I lost 30 trees the year before I put on screen - 
one the year after (because it had lifted up enough to allow in voles). I 
asked the local hardware store to save all the metal window screen they 
threw out from doing repair. I still have many arm loads left over from just 
one summers' screen saving. (Nearly free, I gave the fellow a grape and an 
apple whip I had propagated as thanks). Del
