Default Side Curtain Plastic

My older side curtains appear to have had plastic reinforced with a quarter inch mesh of fie wire. Is this type of plastic still available?

I would try a farm co-op store. They always seem to carry a wide variety of mesh for keeping animals where they are supposed to be.

Default mesh

Thanks Jordan. I believe the fine wire mesh was actually embedded within the plastic. I vaughly remember seeing material like this when I was a kid (that was back when CMPs were brand new). I have some later CMP side screens and they no longer used this type of plastic.

Some horticultural plastics have reinforcement mesh similar to that pictured and may be another possible supply of some.

IIRC, it was called "Windowlite" or "Windolite" but that was it's name.

May still be available. ???
