Magic Mesh
Magic Mesh is a new product that has everyone excited! It functions as a screen-door that can be easily installed over any doorway. Tired of insects swarming your house any time you open the door to enjoy the weather? Tired of kids who slam doors non-stop? Tired of pets who bark and meow impatiently to be let out, just to bark and meow again to be let back in? This may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
It seems incredibly easy to use – no handy man skills required – and it’s definitely far more cost effective than having an actual screen door installed. It would be great if this As Seen on TV product actually does what they say it can do. Let’s take a look and see if this product appears to live up to the hype it’s causing.
What is Magic Mesh?
Magic Mesh is made from a black fabric mesh material that can be attached to your wall with Velcro. No screws, bolts, drills, holes, hammers, or sweat are necessary. The eighteen magnets that line the sides of the door keep it together. To pass through, just pretend that it isn’t there. You don’t need to use any hands to open it (convenient if your hands are full!) and you can watch its magnets magically snap shut behind you.
Unlike some other mesh doors, you don’t need to worry about constantly zipping and unzipping the door. Truly, the ease of using this door is extremely appealing. It definitely has us pointing towards purchase.
If you have a deck, Magic Mesh would be invaluable. You could carry out trays to your guests or toys to your children without any hassle or spills. Don’t wait for someone to get the door – just walk on out! If you’re inside, you’ll appreciate the fresh air filling your home without any bugs to annoy you.

Installing Magic Mesh
Installing Magic Mesh is a piece of cake. Really. We were stunned at how easy this is.
The first thing you have to do is to peel and stick the Velcro attachment above the door you’ve chosen. Next, simply stick the Velcro on the Magic Mesh door itself to the Velcro on your wall. Voila! That’s as involved as it gets.
The good thing about this product is that it does not have any other parts or assembly required. Many similar mesh doors require a bar for installation. This often means drilling holes, measuring and screwing something in place. It can also mean removing screws, patching holes, and repainting! I’ll do without the latter, thank you.
When winter comes, just remove the Magic Mesh, fold it up, and store it for next year’s use. Magic Mesh is made of an incredibly durable fabric, so you should enjoy many years’ worth of bug-free, hassle-free living. If you’re the parent of small children, or any children at all, you can appreciate the beating that screen doors take. Magic Mesh should live up to the stress put on it by prolonged wear and tear.
Magic Mesh Will Work for Your Door
Regardless of the size and type of your door, Magic Mesh should work for you. We found many users who are even having great success using Magic Mesh on hard-to-fit camper doors. There is nothing worse than being swarmed by mosquitoes on a camping trip! Put an end to that and enjoy your camper as you never have before without the worry of bug bites.
We live in a day of constant concern about west nile virus and various other mosquito-transferred diseases. Having flies around your house and kitchen can cause a major bacteria problem! Having Magic Mesh would probably help put your mind at ease about these things, especially if you live in an area where west nile virus is prevalent.
Another thing that we should mention is that it may take some time to train your pets to use the magic mesh door. Cats, especially, seem to need a little extra help at first. Because the door panels stay shut, they have to learn that they can open it simply by walking through. Although this temporary confusion can be frustrating, once they’ve learned that they are free to go in and out as they please, the mesh door is a major headache reducer. No more whining to be let out or in.
So, what conclusion have we reached about Magic Mesh? It seems that, for once, there is a product that lives up to all of the claims made about it. Even if you had to buy a new one every few years, it would still be a savings compared to installing an actual screen door and the regular screen replacement that goes with that. The good news is you shouldn’t have to worry about ever buying a new one!
