Not perfect, but useful and a reasonable price
I have a toddler who likes to go in and out A LOT. We needed to come up with a solution to accommodate his "needs." We did not want to invest in a door, but we did want to reduce the opportunity for bugs to come in the house. I looked online for this type so screen and this one seemed to fit the bill and had a good price. It took 10 minutes or less to install and required no tools. It came with no instructions, but did not really require them. There is a long strip of velcro for the top and several 4 inch strips to space out on the sides. The other side of the velcro is already affixed to the screen. The screen is more durable that modern window screens. It is more of a woven mesh and is easy to see (no one will walk into in without see it). The magnets work well to shut the seam. Even our dachshund has figured out how to use it. The door is not a one-size-fits-all. I did have to gather the screen in the corners a bit, but this screen is less than $30. I never expected a custom fit. Overall a good product for a good price. UPDATE: we have had a hot summer. The velcro glue did not hold up. It will be necessary to use screws to secure your velcro to keep the glue from gumming up and getting loose.
