mesh tank cover

I've had it with fish jumping out of my tank

I'm going to order some plastic mesh from internet mesh.
http://www.internetmesh.net/aquaculture.htm

they make plastic netting in all sizes, I'm going to use
one that has a 3/4" x 3/4" opening.

The one thing I'm trying to figure out is what to make the frame out of.
Since the mesh is plastic I could use plexi and just glue the mesh to the
plexi directly with weldon.
My other thought was to use aluminum and rivet a frame together.
The mesh could be zip tied through holes in the frame.
My tank has a top bracing, which is what the frame can sit on.
I'm leaning towards the plexi frame.

what do you think?
