Magic mesh magnetic window screen [492]

Hey there,
In this video I take a look at Magic Mesh Magnetic Window Screen. Mine didn't come with any directions so I tried my best. It did work but it was frustrating....then I found some directions on Amazon!

I was having a really tough time trying to figure out what you were doing. I had just watched a video where it took a woman about 10 minutes to install the screen. Your approach to the installation is definitely difficult.

I believe you’re supposed to stick the frame on the window before you attach the mesh.

Just got 3 of these there, under$7 at Menards....glad I didn't pay retail.

To avoid headache, here you all go:

Step 1: Roll A (the small roll of magnetic tape) goes on first (after you've cleaned the windowframe of course). Measure it out twice, cut it, then peel a little at a time as you stick it OR peel n stick as you go, then cut when you get to the edge. Repeat for all sides.

Step 2: Put roll B (the bigger roll of magnetic tape) on top of it, so the wider side is magnetized to roll A and the skinnier side faces you. Measure twice, cut once OR attach and cut at the ends. Repeat for all sides.

Step 3: Place mesh on top of this, making sure to leave at least an inch around the perimeter and use the "placeholders" (white rectangles) to keep it there. One on top, one on the left, one on the right.

Step 4: Take the white roll (molding strip) and, groove side facing rolls A and B, while bending upward in a U shape, press against the already applied roll B. Remove placeholders as you go, one side at a time.

Step 5: Trim excess mesh around perimeter.

Step 6: Apply corners.

Step 7: Remove the backing to the "wind clips." Lift an upper corner of the screen. Place a "wind clip" where desired (12" maybe? depends on window) by pressing it onto the magnetic strip (roll A). Slide the screen into the groove of "wind clip." Repeat in the same spot on the other side.

Step 8: Enjoy.

It's only "complicated" because you are, for some bizarre reason, overcomplicating it. The instructions are clear except when it comes to which end of the B roll to face out, which is the only reason I am here. Then again, I could've just spent an extra 30 seconds looking at it all and figured it out myself. I'm not trying to be rude, good sir. I'm trying to help. Hope I haven't come across as harsh.

Thanks for this, I was really struggling with the instructions and now I have an earwig free bedroom window!! <3

I just bought a similar screen kit for my butterfly habitat, I also bought a magnetic screen door for double protection from flying insects etc! My habitat has two hatches, I am hoping the magnet screens will work, it can get super hot, so hot it might cook my caterpillars and butterflies! Thanks for the video, mine came with instructions, but your video helped me. Thank you 🐛🦋🤗

No directions is insane. Not being very experienced or particularly handy at that kind of stuff I would have given up before I even got started. I don't know why products are coming with no directions but it seems to be happening more frequently.
Very frustrating! 💕

Omg thank you for this review!!! I was contemplating buying it but now I know I won’t!

[LuckyStone]

Yes, it's an interesting product and for $30 it could see used for odd-shaped windows and special situations. I have a window with that we keep an AC in during the summer and remove in the fall, This might be useful for the spring since installing the permanent screen is a pain.

If I didn't see this video, I would have thrown away my magic mesh, now I'm going to give it another try at installation.

[nightlady]

Thank u for video. I watched official magic mesh installation vid and it looked way more complicated than I wanted. I was hoping you'd found an easier way. Nope. Guess I won't be buying one.

[americayahya]

This is the most annoying contraption I've ever tried to put together😂😂😂

[domfer]

Caution, the screen looks like very large holes, if you have no-seems, it looks like they would fly through the holes.

Walmart had them on clearance a few months ago. The original price was $40. and clearance price was $30. I did buy 2 of them "just in case" because I know replacement windows are super expensive. I didn't know how much a replacement screen was until you said you called someone local. The 2 that I bought are just sitting in my closet collecting dust. They are definitely up there in the top 10 dumbest things I have ever bought. 😂😂.
Thanks for the review!!
