Magnetic Screen Door with Heavy Duty Mesh-Let Fresh Air in.Close Automaticlly.Fits Door Openings Up to 34"x82" Max (Black)

The weight of the package said there was something considerable inside, opening the shipping bag revealed a resealable bag with the screen inside and an A4 colour sheet as the box front. Removing the screen from the bag there was a roll of grip tape and some pins, along with the weighty screen. All magnets were installed, the top of the screens two panels were sewn together and the other part of the grip tape was already installed. I'd wiped the door frame down with some cleanser, applied the roll of grip tape, pressed it down and then offered up the screen, pressed the top in plane and then worked down the sides. It is a few inches too long as the frame has a step which just fails to allow the bottom magnets to attract to each other. There is a convenient very short magnet at the very bottom, some industrial 12mm wide 3M tape accross the bottom of the screen, folding it up to the limit of the magnets and the screen is now the prefect size and no scissors involved. The quality of this screen just from the fixing in place of it and the closing when the dog uses it, a breeze passes through and clearly insects stay outdoors where they need to be. I've spent £5 each year for maybe the last 7 or more years on thin, universal (huge) screens which don't fit well or feel as thought they are of any true quality and I find this screen at a cost where I wouldn't bark at the cost each year, but where the quality of the screen is such that it can be taken down and put away ready for next year and indeed, I think the following five years. Funny how it can take so long to find the right product, but so pleasing when you do find it and without being robbed for fancy boxes and the like. Unlike cheaper screens this has the magnest sewn into the screen, and the left and right parts of the screen and joined at the top, the quality of the grip tape is great with one side being factory fitted, so you only need to get the frame cleaned and degreased ready to install the top and then the sides of the screen.

I don’t leave feedback usually, but this is a bit special. With the front and back doors open, my house used to be a public highway for bees, wasps and bluebottles. I bought two of these and the transformation has been a revelation! With the front and back doors wide open day and night we get absolutely zero bugs. Zero bugs and the house remains cool and airy. At night it works for moths and midges too: they get bored and fly away after a few minutes You need to spend a little bit of time getting the fit right. The Velcro is really good and once you get it perfect, the pins hold it nicely. Try to get it so the bottom edge is about a centimetre above floor level. No need for cuts or hemming – just move it up, down and into the recess until it’s perfect. Once you’re sure it’s working correctly then pin it and enjoy! We have a small dog and it took about ten minutes for her to get used to it. Now she goes through it likes it’s not even there and has free run of the house and gardens.

Having taken it out of the packaging and put on velcro to edges, the quality of the item does seem good. The magnetic strips do pull together when near each other. Unfortunately when my husband went to put it up, its a little to large for our door. About an inch and a half her reckons. We were trying to put it on our back door, with bricks surrounding the door. I have no issues other than it not fit my door but will give it to my daughter for her door. My friend has one and loves it. UPDATE.... I have just purchased another one for my mother in law who used the last one. She uses it on her conservatory doors and she thinks it does a great job and works well.

Does the job effectively. Still let’s fresh air through. Buy it! You will not be disappointed. I may send this single one back or give it to my friend as I reordered and purchased a double one instead. This is heavy duty and is of fantastic quality! Easy to put up. Easy to move through it and it snaps shut immediately behind you. Keeps all insects out and slugs. I wish I had purchased it earlier in the year as I had two wasp nests directly outside my door. I also had to cover food from flies. Absolutely No problems now. Looks good too and you can see through it easily. Would thoroughly recommend it.

I have purchased fly screens from my local supermarket and they have been quite flimsy and cheap, with only velcro patches and that they are two separate screens, that you have to try and line up correctly. When I received this screen, my first impression was that it was heavy, and this was due to the magnets that keep them closed all the way from the top to the bottom and also weights in the bottom of the screen as well. It comes as a one piece unit, as it is stitched along the top so you just have to pin the whole thing above the door, it comes with enough velcro to stick both sides against the frame so that it is stuck well. Going in and out through the screen is easy and when you pass through, the magnets click together and keep the flies out. I'm pleased that I have bought this one rather than the supermarket ones.

A cheap way of reducing the amount of flies. We live on a farm and in the summer and early Autumn flies are a major problem. This was very quick and easy to use. The dogs and cat soon learned how to dart in and out. It did not always magnetically join back together , but a quick flick outwards would set it right. It is only getting three stars as we have kust taken it down and the velcro has made the whote upvc turn yellow. We also had to stick one side on the window of the adjoining patio door The sticky residue is proving a nightmare to remove. Just want to add that months later we are still trying to remove the residue for the sticky stuff. Gallons of sticky stuff remover and a whole lot of elbow grease and it is still there.
