Plastic hardware mesh OK to use?

I was pricing the items I need to put together JJ's outdoor cage this past weekend, and I saw some hardware screen that was completely plastic rather than the vinyl coated metal stuff I was looking for. It is really flexible, but seemed really strong. Is this OK to use for an adult iguana outdoor cage? I found an open package of the stuff, and was really trying hard to stretch it or tear it and I couldn't. I really don't think JJ will be able to tear through it, and I think if I attach it nice and taut to the cage frame, it will hold up well, but I wanted to see if anyone else has used this. I am not as concerned about predators getting in, as this is for afternoons and weekends when I am around to check on her often. She would never be left all alone in it if I were not home, or overnight. I really like that the edges won't be sharp like metal hardware mesh is once cut! Also, I am looking at a cage size of about 7'tall X 6' long X 4' wide, made out of 1/2" PVC. I *KNOW* I am late in putting this together, but I figure she will still be able to enjoy a a few weekends before fall really hits, and it will be ready to go next year. Thanks for any input!
