I have always been interested in trying the Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic screen door every since I have seen them on television. I enjoy opening our back door when the weather is perfect outside and letting some fresh air inside. Of course, 9 times out of 10 when I have the opportunity to leave the door open it never fails that the bugs enjoy coming inside too. Adding a screen door is a great option but if you are on a budget, then the Mega Mesh Magnetic screen door is a great solution.
Disclosure: I received a Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Door screen in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are 100% my own. This post may contain affiliate links (which keep the content on this site Free).
It is very simple to install. We installed ours on the back door because with three dogs that is the door in the house that gets opened the most. Whether we are opening it to let the dogs in or out or trying to get fresh air. I wiped off the trim around the door outside using baby wipes to get the dirt off before we tried attaching the Velcro strips that come with the screen door.
Once we attached the Velcro strips, we used the tacks that were provided to secure the screen door long term. The tacks did need to be hammered into the door frame. After it was installed, we tested it out and it works exactly as described in the product description. The magnets are strong and automatically close shut after you walk in or out of the screen door.
I love that it allows me hands free access in and out of the house on a nice day. It works well keeping the bugs outside except for a tiny bit at the very bottom of the door. Spray it with a bit of bug spray and the bugs should stay outside where they belong.
My dogs are able to go in and out of the screen door and they are slowly getting used to it. I did have to tempt them with treats to get them to come back inside the first day that I put up the Mesh screen door.
Pros:
- Cost effective option
- pet friendly
- easy to install
- fits most door sizes
- protects against invading insects
- allows for hands free access
Cons:
- Not sure how long it will last compared to a traditional screen door.
- still has a small gap at the bottom of the door
My final thoughts. This is a great option for homeowners who are looking for an economical way to cool of their house without adding a traditional screen door. I love that it is pet friendly considering I have three small dogs. They figured it out for the most part and other times they look at you funny until you open the screen for them. I would definitely purchase this item again. In Texas, we don’t have very many days to open the door and let fresh air inside. I am looking forward to keeping the flies out this summer. 🙂

We live in a wooded area, so I would love to have one of those to keep all the bugs out. We get WAY too many.
I’ve always wondered about those screen doors. I couldn’t use one because of the animals and we don’t have a fence. But for people that need an alternative to a screen door, they seem like a good option.
I need to get one of these for our back door. We always leave it open when we’re in the back yard and would love to get one of these to keep those house flies out. They drive me NUTS.
That is fantastic! I live in Georgia, and it’s bug central down here. Thanks!
I would absolutely give this a try. The flies are OUT of control in the summertime around here.
I really need one of these and cant afford a screen door. This sounds perfect for us.
We TOTALLY had one of these as a kid when I was growing up! I had no idea they still made them. Perfect for entertaining, or even allowing a nice breeze to come in…and keep those pesky bugs out!
We have this and I just love how it keeps the bugs away. I’m thinking of getting another one for my daughter’s home.
If it keeps those pesky flies out, I need to get one immediately. Seems like every time I open the door a fly zooms in.
I need this. I hate flies and mosquitoes.
Thanks for your great review! I always wondered whether these mesh screen doors would work or would it be yet another product I bought thinking it would work, but was disappointed in! This would be perfect for our summer here! There are many flies and try to keep them away the best I can having BBQ’s!
O MY!!! I want to have this.. I’ve never saw this item that is really amazing!!
This is a great idea. I’ve seen these in the stores or something simular to it. It’s a great to keep those bugs out of your home.
This is perfect for our home!! I would love to have this amazing thing. I’m gonna try this.
I’ve been telling my wife we need something like this for this Summer. I will have to show her this.
I need one of these asap! I keep getting flies inside the house. I’m going to look into this.
This is such a great idea, I am anti mosquitoes and having little people at home makes it even harder. They go in and out and leave the door wide open at times..
That is so neat. I love the idea. We should put one on our back door ASAP. Going to tell the hubs about it later.
This would come in really handy this summer, where I live we seem to have a bug infestation and it’s hard to leave doors and windows open.
These are amazing!! We spend out summers in Italy and int he past have gotten eaten alive through the night with mosquitos! Since my mother-in-law put these up on the windows we haven’t had any issues!
I’e seen these mesh screen doors and always wondered how they were. We have indoor cats, so unfortunately I don’t think they would work for us. My in-laws would probably love one, though!
This looks great for a door that leads outside. I’ll bookmark this one, we may need it for our new home.
One of these would be great for us. Our screendoor needs to be replaced so this would be a good option.
