Gale breaker or Covertec door sheeting?

In the process of putting up a 5 bay open front building principally for grain drying , but also with one end bay for a sprayer washdown area.

Was thinking it would be good to have some if not all bays enclosed at the front using the netting type of door sheet above.Due to large bay height and width we would probably have to use the electric drive types.

Anyone an idea of cost compared to roller shutters, and if there are benefits or downsides with it? I would like to keep birds etc out if possible and allow condensation to dry quickly.
I would appreciate your comments/photos.

Thanks,
Andrew.
