Flyzzz DIY Self-Adhesive Window Screen Netting Mesh Curtain, 100X150cm (Approach 39.37x59.05 Inches), with Hook and Sticky Tape, Fitted to Multiple Windows (1 Pack, Black)

Easy way to fix screen issue

I purchased the Flyzzz DIY Self-Adhesive Window Screen Netting Mesh Curtain to keep insects out during the warmer months, and I have to say, it worked really well at first. The screen was easy to install, and the self-adhesive hook and tape made it a simple DIY project. It fit perfectly on my window, and it was great at keeping bugs away while still letting in fresh air. The black mesh is discreet and doesn’t obstruct my view too much, which I appreciated.For the price, it’s a solid option for a temporary solution. I was really happy with it for the first few months—it stayed in place, didn’t sag, and did its job. However, after about 6 months, the adhesive started to lose its grip. The screen began to fall off the window, and I found myself needing to reattach it several times. It’s clear that the adhesive isn’t meant for long-term use, especially if the window gets a lot of direct sunlight or changes in temperature.While it worked great for the summer, I wouldn’t rely on this screen for long-term use. If you need something quick and inexpensive for a short period, this is a good choice. But for something more durable or long-lasting, you might want to look for a sturdier option.

I wish I tried something like this sooner. In our former home there were no screens & we used the adjustable screen type in a wood/plastic frame in our sash windows. It was ok but left small gaps that mosquitoes would still find their way in. Also we were 3 floors up and if these fell down, which they did from time to time, they’d get bent or broken.This product is essentially a piece of tulle fabric (netting) that you will cut generously for the window. Really clean all debris from the frame where you’ll attach the 3M Velcro loop tape. Measure twice & cut once!After doing the Velcro on all 4 sides, measure the fabric and over compensate so you have enough coverage and trim the excess. I did our bathroom window alone in less than 30 min. I wish I had done this at our previous home. Easy & not ugly looking.Situations where you should be careful are high up windows where small children or pets can fall out of. Duh. Use common sense and precautions to avoid this. Overall though I should’ve used this method years ago at our old house. The bugs would terrorize my son and he’d get bad allergic reactions.Also, this looks rather seamless vs the adjustable screens and yes you can install from the interior in case you are high up. For a cheaper solution I would buy tulle fabric from the fabric store & strong 3M Velcro tape (loop side). That’s all that this kit really is.

I needed to repair some small window screens and the DIY gear would be fairly expensive just for the 2 small screens. I read reviews & this seemed inexpensive enough to at least give them a try. The thickest material is rather flimsy and while I cleaned the aluminum frames exceptionally well the provided adhesive just wouldn't suffice. I taped it off & used spray adhesive to get a more firm hold & then trimmed away any excess. Its been a few months & while these windows won't get much use it at least looks better than the torn & tired screens before this repair.

Normally I don’t do reviews because I like to test it out for a while and forget BUT I was super excited about this. We’re renting (no A/C yay!) and our upstairs where the kids sleep gets super hot because all the hot air gets trapped up there and of course neither of the windows up there have screens so it’s either open the windows and let an ungodly swarm of bugs in to eat my kids alive or keep it closed and let them roast as they sleep. So I turned to google and then amazon to try and find a way to screen in the window without doing anything permanent to the house and I found this. Listen, I’m an idiot and have to try things two or three times before I work out the kinks and can achieve the same level of success as a normal person does on the first try and yet I was able to put this up within ten minutes with no help. That’s a big deal for me. Super easy install although I was super lazy and didn’t cut it to look nice but well only be looking at it for a few months so I’m a happy camper.

The “screen” material is flimsy, stretchy fabric. I washed and dried the window frame prior to mounting the Velcro strip. It seemed to adhere well. It was a bit awkward to get the netting up smoothly since it was very stretchy. Looked good when it was trimmed to fit, but within a few minutes the netting started to pull away from the Velcro. I used their tool to reattach it. I checked an hour later and the whole Velcro strip with screen had peeled off the window. After reattaching with their tool and finding it peeled off again, I used packing tape to tape everything to the frame. Doesn’t look very good but it held.

I have a skylight without a net and it's the dead heat of summer, really wanted to let in some cool air but didn't want to spend $$$ on a professional job. This did the trick perfectly. I lined the outside wall of the skylight with the tape and used the little plastic tool to press the whole netting on. You can easily undo a small part to reach in and open/close the window. Professional, no. Gets the job done, yes.

If you're looking for a non-permanent way to put up a mesh for a window that needs one, this works well enough.Just make sure you don't pull the screen tight when attaching to the velcro, because the adhesive isn't strong enough, and the tension will slowly pull the velcro off the window.
