porch screen

Porch insect filter

A porch screen is mesh material, typically fiberglass or metal, used to enclose a porch while allowing airflow and keeping insects out.

The term can refer to the screening material itself or to a framed panel: We need to replace the porch screen where the cat tore through it.

A screened porch is sometimes called a screen porch.
