Here's why this top-rated budget bug screen is creating a buzz - no DIY skills or tools required High Temperature Fiberglass Yarn
Open doors and windows during the summer mean you’ve likely been welcoming some unwanted flying visitors. Yes, I'm talking about BUGS.
During the summertime my living room becomes bug-a-palooza with mosquitos flying through my screen-less back door, but I didn't want to splash out on the installation of a permanent (and expensive) custom screen door that I'd only really use for a few months a year.
I'm not a DIY person but I decided to look on Amazon for a faster and cheaper solution - and discovered a really easy way to prevent insects from coming into my home, with no installation required. It's a deceptively simple magnetic screen door, essentially a mesh curtain. The best part is that there are no skills or tools required to install it.
The screen comes in various widths to fit almost any door. Adhesive velcro strips, which you attach to your door frame, hold the edges of the curtain in place, and the screen is split down the middle so you can walk through.
Cleverly placed hidden magnets make sure the screen snaps shut behind you after you walk through it, keeping bugs at bay.
I've used my screen for two summers now, so I can tell you both the good and the bad...
Overall though, it's a summer must have for me. I take it (and the velcro) down when the season changes to colder weather and easily store it away since it folds down to a manageable size.
Roving Fiberglass Amazon shoppers seem to agree! The magnetic curtain screen has nearly 45,000 five-star reviews and a 4.6-star out of 5 Amazon rating.
