Hi
Have metal roof. Nice but
Suspect insects are entering thru the screen under the ridge cap.
What size openings are proper for this screen and
What material is best to use?
Thank you

Some use a fiberglass filter media similar to a furnace air filter while others use a fine mesh stainless steel screen and some use small perforated holes instead.
