@@ayeshahafeez7712 Yes. The duct tape does not interfere with the magnetism. It's simply to securely attach the magnet tape to the net, as the adhesive on the back of the magnet tape isn't enough.
Absolutely awesome!!!!! My fat cat managed to sneak out of the smaller opening in my sliding door window on my campervan where I live full time. By Gods grace he was ok the next morning but now I’ve lost that windows breeze; fir him and got me. You need air movement in these homes on wheels. This is perfect! I tried using glue and it was a complete mess. Plus the window is not steel so can’t use magnets alone. Your great post has solved that 4 me. Thanks again,
If you are ever looking for a sturdier option to prevent your cat from escaping, try looking at Flat Cats velcro screens - I have them for my windows and my cat can't push through them in the same way he would be able to with a magnetic screen.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Glad to see a woman do this as I am also a woman. I have two glass patio doors that open and then there is no screen to keep all the bugs out so would this work in this type of set up? Thank you for your response.
Thank you for your comment :) In general this will work with doors, too. But maybe it's not the most comfortable solution for doors. Probably there are systems more suitable for doors which you can walk through and they close behind. :)
Because guys have three legs and four arms and you of course wouldn't have been able to follow their instructions. They're using a model for an instructional video. Christ.
@@ShaferHart exactly. Chix who feel the need to harp on their exterior are usually the nuisance in the neighborhood and in life...better known as KAREN 🙄.
@@supermagnetecom So if we put the magnetic sides of two strips face to face, they will stick? I’m was wonder if I needed to get two different tapes. Say one that is A-pole and another that is B-pole. I plan to set-up a fly trap too.
The only problem i see is when the wind is very strong it can suck the screens off the magnets and fall off down the street. It can happen -- unless you have really really strong magnets.
Love this idea, brilliant! Only doubt in my mind is the black magnetic tape that sticks on the window frame, is it a little wired looking from the street?
I didn't understand the last part. Is the mesh and the magnetic tape attached to the exterior frame? If so, how do you get it on and off without it potentially falling?
As you see in the beginning of the video, we first attach magnetic tape to the window. So in the last part of the video, the mesh with the counterpart magnetic tape sticks to the tape on the frame and not directly to the frame itself.
It's strong enough to prevent a storm tearing it down, but it won't be strong enough to deter a cat from hopping out the window :) Maybe it will stop your cat from trying, but we can't guarantee that it's strong enough to keep her if she tries.
It is not meant for this purpose, but it probably depends on the density of the net. But a conventional fly screen will not keep dust out. We can't give you a general answer.
can you remove the magnetic part often to open and close window if the window opens outward? And you would have the screen on the inside of the window, not outside bcz the window opens out. Thanks!
So you can place it on the inside too, and remove it every time you want to open the window. But maybe there would be better options? If you remove the screen very often, the adhesive of the magentic tape could weaken over time.
Wie du in der verlinkten Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung (sumag.net/flyscreen-diy-y01) sehen kannst, wird als Gegenstück ebenfalls das für das Netz verwendete Magnetband verwendet. Du benötigst also lediglich selbstklebendes Magnetband, Fliegengitter und Gewebeklebeband :)
We only can tell about duct tape. We used it because it's easy to handle, looks nice and most of all it's suitable for outdoor use. There may be other strong tapes, too. But they have to be weather proof for this use.
I think it works pretty well with certain width, guess the wider the stronger, I installed my screen (100x210) and next two days it was a big storm at my place. And it works pretty well. Only one issue is the duct tape, which won't stick strong with my glassfiber screen. the magneettape works very well.
Is this magnetic tape strong enough to hold on to a van's body? I want to make a screen that would attach to the body around the side door, and this screen could roll up when not it use.
It always depends on the exact material of your vans body and the weight of the screen. But actually, it should be strong enough, but we never tried :)
It encloses the net and the magnetic tape. This ensures that the net does not come off the tape at the edges and that the adhesive side of the tape is completely covered. :)

We have applied the tape to give the insect screeb additional hold on the magnetic tape and to protect the adhesive of the magnetic tape from environmental influences.
Dangerous to install on a window that high on a building. Children and animals can push it open and fall to their death. Even an adult could trip and fall against it. Just plain dumb idea unless installed on first floor.
So this is why it's called an insect screen and not a safety screen. 😉You should always act like there's an open window wit no screen and keep an eye on yout animals and children ⚠
