[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a some time ago and I wanted to wait to review until I got some good use out of it. I will say it's easy set up and great for those days when it's sunny and 75 and you have the rest of the house open to the fresh air. Easily go in and out and your dogs can too without the worry of the flies coming in. Also recommend if you have parties.

PLEASE believe me when I tell you that if it seems too good to be true... it probably is. We bought ours off the website, ordered the "durable" mesh, and paid WAY more than what this junk is worth. I just want people to know that this stuff is not a great "alternative" to an actual screen door. What WE paid for it off the website we could have bought a brand new replacement door, AND after it finally arived almost 3 months later we got to try it out before it turned real cold. You half to get it perfectly level or the magnets wont snap together, and then the little velcro tab thingys begin to unstick, then the door will blow open if a stronger breeze comes along (which you are TRYING to capture) but in come all the flys on the screen (which it says it will keep out), and finally it has begun to rip, mind you this is suposed to be the "durable" mesh, and it is ripping along the top. I would NOT recomend you wasting your money on this product. I am extremely UN-impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took this product out of the box, and my first thought was it was flimsy. The mesh is very thin, and the panel is very lightweight (that part is actually a good thing). I just thought the mesh would easily tear. So, for the purpose of this review, I tried to see if I could tear a small area of the mesh. It didn’t tear! The panel hung quite nicely in the doorway with the included tape strips and stayed in place. The magnets were also powerful and joined again very easily after separation. This mesh panel serves its purpose and does it quite well.

I really was worried before we used this product but it is great. we have a new steel door on the back of our house and it needed some type of screen to keep bugs out. We have less problem with flies and wasps in our house since we put this up. The only problem is that it is too easy and fast for our 20 month old great grandson to get outside if we turn our backs on him. I have recommended it to neighbors already.

Easy to install with push pins for the top and adhesitv strips for the sides but... We open the screen and let it go and it does NOT connect back together with the magnets as the commercials and the advertising on the box shows. Would be nice if it did but it doesn't. Every time we go through the screen we have to manually pull the flaps closed so that the magnets will attach to each other as they will not do it on their own. Yes we adjusted the screen several times and nothing worked. Also even when the magnets close the middle of the screen there are large gaps which will easily allow bugs, flies, mosquitoes, and possibly small birds to get through. Total waste of our money and our time.

My major complaint is that the magnets are not strong enough to hold the two screens together! The concept is great, but the product is useless. With the slightest breeze the screens will come apart and billow in the wind. Looking for solutions to this problem, I started reading online reviews. I'm certainly not alone in my opinion of this "magic mesh". I will be returning it.

I rent and the one thing I absolutely hated is not being able to keep my door open bc of bugs here in Florida. I decided to give this a try bc it was cheap and seemed like it should work. Now first, yes the velcro doesn't hold....even me being a single person with no animals. The thumb tacks it comes with or, if you don't have a wood frame, some other reinforcement. With reinforcement, it is something you will absolutely love and won't believe an as seen on TV product could actually make you that happy.

I love everything about Magic Mesh and am glad to see it sold in Walmart so I don't have to "wait for the bonus offer if I just pay separate shipping and handling" from the TV ads. I have 2 of them now and am about to go get a third one. AS WITH ANY PRODUCT LIKE THIS, you may have to do some modications of your own. My door frames have slightly curved and not-so-typical framing so the included velcro and black tacks have to be adjusted based on MY end of the installation. To get the screens up, a trusty and handy old desk stapler allowed me to have them up in about 5 minutes per set of screens. It's probably better than the velcro and tacks. Truly, I've had no problems at all with the screens being stapled. On top of that, no messy adhesive glue from the velcro to pull the paint off my framing. And, black velcro strips on a white door frame? Nah! I left about 16 inches of the screen where the door opens unstapled so my cats can easier get in and out. I still have a good bit of protection from outdoor pests. The BIGGEST benefit for me is being able to better safeguard my cats when they want to play outside. A month ago, and before I had the Magic Mesh screens, one of my cats was severely attacked by 2 vicious stray dogs. She should be in kitty heaven now because she was in critical shape. (She's recovered very well!) I've made it a point to keep the doors open and not have any non-necessary noises going on around me that could prevent me from hearing any potential distress. Again, the screens have made a substantial part of my fears become better managed and my outdoor-loving cats still get to enjoy their lives as opposed to me keeping them all in from now on. They shouldn't be held prisoner and I love to see them playing in the grass and taking it easy. I DEFINITELY WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE TO BE ALERT OF YOUR OWN SAFETY AND SECURITY WHILE YOUR DOORS ARE OPENED. All in all, I totally recommend this product! The magnets are stronger than one reviewer mentioned. They love my metal door, that's for sure! I'm enjoying the screens and in my own oddly absurd way, I love looking at them and playing with the magnets. Cheap thrills indeed. I feel like you'll be surprised at what this simple product can do to improve your indoor/outdoor enjoyment. If you have pets, I found it best to leave a bottom corner of the screens unfastened so they will find it easier to understand. The screen still drops closed after they enter and exit. My cats had to be visually shown at first and now they understand it. Also, I no longer have to leave food and water bowls outside any more than I have to. Ants and mosquito larvae aren't a good thing for them to ingest. They can come in to get their refreshments all fresh, clean and cool, and I can keep tabs on who's in and who's out. GO GET ONE OR SEVERAL. You won't regret it. I hope this helps you and I'd love to hear any comments.

Packaged unprofessionally. Everything just shoved in a bag from some independent company. No instructions. I have no idea how to attach it. If only the top was made that I could stick a tension rod through it and hang it between the door opening. I won't mark up my door frame using tacks. The Velcro would look ugly. Very disappointed.

I bought this over the summer, it was very easy to install, but the magnets keep popping off the screen, I wish they had glued them together when They made the item, it rips at the top and bottom of the screen very easily, and does not stay closed on windy days. I would not recommend this if you are putting it in a "busy" door way.
