Ever seen these advertised on TV?
Well, we have one.
First, let me tell you... it is what it is. It's $20. For a screen door. If you think about that, you will realize that you don't get much of a screen door for $20.
We have one installed in the kitchen doorway that leads out to the back deck. It's a narrow door, and we had a hard time finding a regular screen door that would fit and actually work in the space. So, we tried Magic Mesh.
Let's just say it was a real challenge to get it up and setup. Then, all those stupid little magnets keep falling off, breaking, or getting twisted, so they don't attract to the other side, but repel instead. We have most of it taped together with electrical tape (black tape so it doesn't show so bad). I've heard really bad reviews, and I totally agree with them.
But then again, it's only $20. And truthfully, despite the problems, it actually works. In fact, I love it. It does keep most of the bugs out, but allows us to keep the door open letting fresh air into what is normally the hottest part of the house... the kitchen.
(PS - Magic Mesh did not pay me to say any of this!)
