Perfect answer to leaving windows open and no insects etc getting in the house.
Mine have been I’m place 3 years now.No insects in my house now, especially at night, window open and watching TV . No insects brilliant.
This is a great product, perfect size and easy to fit. Great for the office!
It has saved my sanity whilst on video calls and I love keeping the window open with no unwanted fly shaped interruptions
Gave 5 stars so review gets read but perhaps case buy cheap buy twice, I liked idea of the magnetic ones that when you finished with them you folded them away for next year but 25 + so went for these, first up if you think you can get two windows out of one kit yes you will get enough net,,,,, but not enough tape to cover both perimeters so you will have to chop bits,,,,you will need the dexterity of a surgeon to fit the net and a scalple sharp blade to cut it (forget scissors). So it’s up will stop bugs for sure but surely will only last a season and there must be a better way, already thinking making frames fitting net to them and using valcro pads to stick frames in place, oh dropped tape onto my window cill it stuck so well it pulled paint off on removal so adhesive is good.
Finally stopped all those mosquitos coming through the the window. Can sleep soundly with the windows open now
You’ll need a wipe or cloth to clean the velcro surface, scissors to cut the velcro and mesh to size (don’t cut mesh too early).
Velcro sticks well, mesh sticks to the velcro. Easy to set up, good wind/breeze passing through the mesh, fine enough to keep small bugs out. Not yet tested against dust and very tiny creepy crawlies, but so far so good. I’ll recommend it.
Great idea, great product but it’s listed as transparent but it is in fact a black screen. Have reordered a white one!
I didn’t receive the little brush but it is up and amazing and cat proof like someone’s video shows you defo buying more
My room is free from flying insects since I bought it, strongly recommend.
– So previously I have tried glue adhesion ones before and the Velcro did not stick on for very long, this one has a good adhesion HOWEVER! Do not overlap the Velcro adhesions on top of each other or you will find that it does not stick at all on one end, so you have to cut the overlap and actually size up the Velcro perfectly. It is also worth noting that the Velcro is so good that upon trying to apply the netting for the first time you may end up fighting with the whole thing, it won’t be you that wins. The net always wins. Despite this, it’s fairly easy to install, providing you are good with your hands and don’t have cats or kids yanking or stealing. The only thing I would say is hard is actually cutting the mesh after installing. If like me you live in a new build house where space is of luxury, you gotta be very good with your hands and a good pair of textile scissors to get a clean cut. Mine ended up looking rather botched, though I don’t really care about this as long as it keeps the birds (newest evolution of British spiders) out of my room.
Quality:
– as it is a cheap product high expectations aren’t always on the agenda. However this product is an amazing little find. While I do have to comment that the netting feels rather cheap, it does the job so no complaints! Velcro and adhesion works amazingly too.
Fit for description?
– I bought this for the purpose of keeping spiders out of my room. As someone with a gross and deadly fear of spiders and given their recent evolution in the U.K. to massive birds almost (Australia you can take them back), I suppose this product will work amazingly! Though I have not yet tried it in real world application, the adhesion of the Velcro allows no gaps between the Velcro and mesh so I doubt the spider hybrids will be able to breach these walls. Although now I do fear they will just eat the mesh for lunch, then me following. If you have pets, please be mindful that this probably won’t support the weight of a cat, dog or child and will ultimately send them flying over a rainbow.
Comments:
– I have an outward opening window, therefore I have an annoying handle sticking out like a sore thumb. As long as you allow a generous amount to cover the handle as well as being able to reach the Velcro on all sides still, you will be totally fine.
– good luck to everyone facing these spiders this September, I don’t know if I will get through it either, though this does install just a little more hope!
Easy to fit and put up but my cat made holes and pulled it of really easily so does not prevent him climbing out the window. It’s good for stopping the bugs
The big window is open during the day and closed at night to stop insects. Our cats come in and out of the big window during the day.
I put the tape around the top window, cut the mesh to size and affixed the mesh, it was all really simple to do.
I then closed the big window leaving the top window open with the mesh covering it.
We heard a thud and then what sounded like claws on mesh and one of our cats had tried to get in through the mesh covered top window.
This resulted in one very confused, and not very intelligent cat, and an intact mesh screen. It didn’t even budge at all.
So if you are wondering how well it sticks, I can tell you that a cat won’t budge it.
No cats were harmed in the testing of this product.
Laughed at, but not harmed.
Does the job but the sticky strips lift if the netting is taught. You get alot of sticky strips so can reapply but not ideal if you intend on lifting away the netting to open and shut window as it will pull on the sticky strip and eventually loose it’s stickiness. Better for window that permanently slightly ope
I previously had this really easy magnetic window screen so compared to that I did find this quite tricky to install. Applying the adhesive was fine, it was sticking the mesh to the adhesive that was as struggle, trying to line it up right and then also cutting the mesh was really hard, scissors werent super effective but all I had really. I am pleased with the finished product, it being white means it lets a ton of light into my room, I am able to open occasionally lift up the mesh and reapply when faffing w the window. overall am pleased (:
Its easy to leave your window open more regularly with this product so I would recommend purchasing a cable security lock to stop potential burglaries.
This time the fly screen material was black rather than white and I was a bit dubious about the colour, but in fact I think it looks better in black and is far less noticeable.
Didn’t think the tape was as good as I ordered last time, rather thin and smaller barbs on it. The last tape was much more sturdy and had Tesa written on the backing paper, this one had nothing written on it and looked like a cheap version.
Apart from that it works well and keeps those horrid spiders out.
Its a very basic concept though, which is probably over priced and looks a little cheap. Its a simple piece of mesh fabric, with a small roll of velcro tape. You cut the tape to size and stick to the frame surrounding the window. Once the velcro surrounds the window, you cut the mesh to size and simply stick it to the velcro to cover the window. Mesh allows airflow, whilst blocking most other items from entering. To close the window, just peel the mesh from the bottom strip of velcro to allow to reach the handle. Then when re-opening, just re-seal the mesh to velcro. As above, looks a bit meh and is very basic, but its done exactly what i wanted, so i cant really complain.
I had to order a new set of nets since the previous ones were so frail and prone to rip but ordered two of these and they are so much better, much stronger and quality net. A bonus that you can choose a size closer to what you need and not just getting a huge 6ft net to begin with. Only small gripe is they don’t come with a cutting tool like some others do.
As far as the look of my net goes from the outside: I walked out of my house a small distance and from where I looked, upwards, it sort of looks like clingfilm (saran wrap), with the sew line. If the sew line wasn’t there it’d look pretty decent.
I won’t deduct anymore than a star for the false dimensions because it seems to work fine anyways.
I cleaned my window with a slightly damp dish cloth and a dry microfibre cloth, before using the tape. The tape sticks well and the net attaches to the tape pretty well, kind of like Velcro.
Update: After using it for about half a year I can safely say it works really well. I definitely recommend it, I haven’t had a mosquito or bee come in through my window in months. Just make sure it fits your window properly!
I bought this as I grew tired of insects flying into my room at night.
Velcro tape can be absolute hell to remove so I did not use it. I decided to get some blu-tack in white and create a line of it around my window, and press the net into that line. At intervals around the frame, I then added extra blu-tack on top so it would hold better. It’s not too difficult to lift up a small area to open and close the window. Keeps everything but the tiny tiny flies out and works great for the price.
Our cat is able to jump into the middle and use her paws to pull down the strip stuck at the top of the window so she can get out. Our neighbour cat was also able to push with in guessing his head through a corner until he could sneak in. Perhaps if the tape was wider it might work better, would get a 2nd roll of it to double up. Got after reading a cat proof review but it is not. Great for bugs though if you live near the sea and want to keep your window open at night in the summer.
Very easy to install and cut etc, wish I’d used a Stanley knife instead of a scissor so it would have cut straighter though
HOWEVER, a little warning for those who have their window permanently open a small amount… spiders *chills* really like that little gap between the netting and the window… so much that I spent most of September saying ‘Good Morning Annie’, ‘Goodnight Dave’ to my two resident giant great house spiders. Although they look like death itself, they make pretty good therapists and the netting made social distancing a VERY important possibility.
(For those interested, Annie and Dave started having ‘parties’ including other GIANT great house spiders to the point where I wasnt sure who’s leg was who.. Sadly I was informed of the potentially horrific outcome of said ‘parties’ by my grandmother and promptly served verbal eviction notices to all residing behind the great magical netting and they left the next day!)
Overall:
~ Strong Adhesion! I have even left the window open when it was heavily raining and during high wind.
~ The netting holes are small enough so you have no visitors, although I have noticed some tiny spiders hanging around my curtain *not babies.. I hope*
~ Although the holes are small the netting still allows a decent amount of air flow and dramatically helps with breathing if you’re an asthmatic.
100% Recommend!
Annie, Dave.. if you’re out there,
I hope you and the kids are well
Take care xoxo
It’s very easy to install. After a few months of use the edges of the fabric are starting to look frayed where there has been repeated removal of the net from the tape to open and close the window but this does not effect the function and I would expect this over time. Good value for money product.
I live next to a large area of woodland and the letting agency has installed a large security light on the side of the building that stays on all night. This attracts all kind of strange and annoying insects from the woodland, and my flat was getting invaded every night if I left my windows open.
These nets put a stop to that. The mesh is very fine, soft, and flexible. Only insects that are barely big enough to see can get through it. I’ve had no problems with the adhesive – like I said these have withstood four years of use including stormy weather.
The only downside to this product is that it’s really designed for European windows than open inwards, whereas most British windows open outwards. It is possible to cut the mesh in such a way that it has enough slack for you to be able to reach out and grab the window’s handle. You don’t want to install this tightly if you want to shut the window. The mesh is delicate so will degrade quickly if you keep peeling it off the adhesive to open a window.
After four years the mesh has collected a lot of dust, leaves, webs, and dead spiders. I’m now happily ordering replacements knowing they’ll be good for another four years.
Really good window screen! I’ve installed some before, but this one is the easiest! It didn’t take more than 5 minutes to put it on my window. The material is soft, which is really good in my situation, because I have a huge window handle and lock, for those with hard material, it will not be very fit on the bottom. The softness makes it possible to bend and stick to the place I want. I’m not sure if the tape will last long, but it looks good now. although one downside is that it is white, not clear, which means you will definitely notice it when you look out the window, it makes my view a bit blurry
