1/4 inch nails, staples, those are what i think would be best.

i would have to disagree. i find it best if you are using a meatal screen like aluminum to but a frame for it that is avalable at many hardwhere stores and home depot buy the spline and a specal tool for doing it then cut the frame to size using a saw use a specal conector to conect them and put the screen over it and run the spline in all around it with the tool and when you are done you can nail it on the back and it wont have that pointy fraid that can hurt the anamal and it wont fraid much like using stapels. what it bacily is, is windo screen. ask the hardwhere dude he will beable to explain better. what anamal is this for?

Unless you live in Florida, you're gonna need a he!! of a lot more humidity than you will get with a cage with a screen top.

Frogs and screen tops don't usually agree. Especially Red-eyes.
