Magic Mesh Screen Door – One Year Later!


Fairway has no trouble walking through the Magna Mesh Screen Door. Only the bottom few magnets open, then close behind her.Maybe it should be called Magic Mess. -- I got almost a season of use out of my Magic Mesh screen, but it became torn and rugged rather quickly. You’ve probably seen their ads on TV a lot, and now this product is widely available in stores. Mine fell apart after about 3 months, and now I installed a different brand that I expect to last longer. It’s called Magna Screen. I got mine on Amazon. Here’s the description: Easy to install: No tools required sets up in minutes Keeps bugs and pests out while letting in fresh air Uses 20 high-powered magnets to securely open and magically close behind you Fits standard single and sliding doors Measures (2) 83in x 19.5in screen panels, 12 hook & loop strips and 20 wood tacks. $13.70. And now back to me. There’s free shipping for Prime Members. The online Amazon reviews for Magna Screen are pretty good. 3.5 Stars from 61 reviews, Vs. 2.3 stars from 41 reviews for the Magic Mesh. (Magna Screen is a bit more expensive than the Magic Mesh, but to me the better construction is worth it.) It’s under $14.00 at the link below:
Here’s the video from last year’s Magic Mesh. The Magna Screen operates exactly the same, but it’s better made and hopefully will last more than one season.
UPDATE! 7/19/13 -- One month in and this morning I find two magnets have come loose. The screen itself is in great shape and the magnets just snap back on, but I'm sorry to see this happening after only 30 days. I mean add tape to keep them together.
