LIAMSTGarage Door Screen for 18x8FT,2 Car Garage Doors- Reinforced Fiberglass Door Screen,Stronger High Energy Magnets ， Magnetic Screen Door

I purchased this screen to use on my garage which has been converted into a gym. The last few years the flies have been brutal. Especially in August and September when my Walnut trees drop their fruit and it starts to rot on the ground. Fly traps helped, but they filled up in just a few days and stank real bad so not the best solution. I had thought about making some screened panels this year and was looking for the screen and came across this item, and others, designed specifically for garage doors. Who would have thunk it. My garage is now a fly free zone and I could not be more pleased with this product.It took me about a half hour to install and that was including adding an additional strip of 1x3 wood at the top. After reading some of the other reviews regarding the installation I decided to add the additional wood to make it easier to create a high point where the panels meet to ensure is closes with minimal assist - which it does. Plus the existing wood had worn a bit over the years and did not make a good matting surface for the Velcro tape to stick. Like others I chose to install the tape to the wood frame before attaching the screen to it since it just seemed to make more sense. I also added a few staples here and there to make sure the Velcro will stay put. In my application it will only come down once a year in the winter months when flies are not an issue, but I still felt it best to secure it with some staples and recommend doing that if you plan to install this screen and remove it on occasion. Although I will admit the Velcro is very sticky and comes with a small tool to press it in place too. I would still recommend some staples though.It ended up fitting almost perfectly. It was about and inch too wide which was easy to compensate for and about two inches to tall, but that seems to work out well. It allowed me to use a brick on each end to hold it down and prevent it from pulling at the sides when being opened. On that note you just push through it to open and it pretty much closes behind you. If not you just need to give it a little push and it closes like a zipper. I was really impressed with how easily it does open and close. The magnets appear plenty strong holding it securely even when it's windy, and leaves no open gaps for bugs to enter. Yes it does tend to cling to the door but only a little since it's just the metal framing inside the door that attracts the magnets - not the door itself, which in my case is aluminum. I don't use a garage door opener so can't speak to how it would handle being opened remotely.The fiberglass screening material itself appears very durable while remaining flexible. I opted to go with this model, which was priced a little higher than others, based on the review comments regarding the durability of the screen fabric as well as the trim fabric that houses the magnets on the edge and weights at the bottom. It does drag on the cement a little so over time it might wear in spots, but nothing a little black duct tape won't be able to handle. Obviously air circulation is a concern in a gym and it does not seem to hamper that much at all. One added benefit is it makes it a little harder to see into the garage from the outside which I like and it even provides some level of shading which is good as my door faces West so it can tend to get pretty warm late in the day.Overall I am very pleased with this product. I wish I had thought about this years ago. It is so nice to be able to use the garage without flies or mosquitoes or any flying critters for that matter. I even use it at night to meditate in peace and quiet. I cannot recommend this product enough. Stop thinking about it and make the move. Hands down.....some the best money I've spent this year.Update - April 23, 2023I thought I would provide and update since I have used the screen for two years now. Unfortunately I am here to purchase another one since the original one is worn pretty bad and a bit dry rotted. I am still happy with the purchase and feel even though it lasted only two summers, it was still a good value. My garage faces west so the screen got 8-10 hours of sun a day. Plus it got opened and closed a lot in the course of a day. To be fair I probably could have gotten another year out of it, but it was not that expensive so I prefer to have a new one. Plus the bottom was getting pretty warn. As I said it gets open and closed a lot and the weights at the bottom cause it to drag on the concrete which wears out the fabric. I was finding the weights in my driveway and did not know what they were. I ended up having to replace them with some old AA batteries and taping it shut with duct tape.I can see how someone might read this and think these issues should lower the rating, but to me it was still a good value and well worth getting another of the same model so I can just install it to the existing framing and Velcro which is still in good shape.

I should have gotten one of these long ago. We have a small farm and the ducks like to hang out in the garage. This works great to keep them out now. The magnets are a little weak for me because it seems a small breeze separates it. I did nail my velcro up so i dont have issues as others with it falling off. Measure correctly or it will be a little weird.

I have purchased, installed and used seven different magnetic screens over the last five years, and I can honestly say that THIS IS THE BEST MAGNETIC SCREEN DOOR FOR YOUR 2 CAR GARAGE!!The screen is made from very sturdy and strong material -it doesn’t rip easily! The Velcro is pre-sewn into the screen, and the Velcro that comes with the kit that attaches to the door surround is easy to work with, of very high quality, and lasts for YEARS! I’m replacing my old screen, but not the Velcro around my door! The original Velcro is still going and holding strong!The Velcro that goes across the top of the door frame is thicker than the Velcro along the sides! This is a great feature as it allows you to hang the dead-center (where the screen opens) an inch or two higher than the rest of the top, without having to try to arch the Velcro! It also gives it even better staying power! This screen is the perfect size for use around a 2 car garage! It is listed as being 16’ by 7’, but actually even the one listed as such, is actually 16.3’ by 7.15’, -which is great, as the extra inches are often needed to get a proper fit! (A 16’ panel will not cover a 16’ opening! U need an extra inch or two on each side to reach the sides where the Velcro goes)!I just ordered my second one of this same screen last night, and it arrived this morning before noon! I couldn’t believe the price it is selling for right now- under $50!!! I paid $85 for my original screen, and felt it was a great deal for that price! For the current sale price of $47, I’m half tempted to order 10 more! They really are the best available -trust me, I tried several others before finally finding this one, the best of all! I ordered this second screen because the original eventually got too many little rips in it from my husband being careless, and catching it with sharp tools! I sewed each the rips up, and that worked just fine, but I decided I wanted a nice new one for when guests come over! This screen turns our garage into an enjoyable bonus room! It keeps ALL bugs outside!!!There are more magnets in this screen than any of the others I’ve tried, and these magnets are bigger, stronger, and sewn the fabric! It closes tightly and completely! NO BUGS CAN GET IN! This screen also has several little weights sewn into the bottom, which help to hold it in place -I’ve found that moving one weight to each far side, and one right at the opening of each side, really helps everything stay in place and close quickly/immediately behind you!This screen also has several little clip ties on the top of the screen that allow u to roll the screen door up and secure it, when you need it out of the way! It’s a nice feature that many other brands do not have!If you are shopping for the best magnetic screen door for your 2 care garage, (or equivalent size opening), search no further!THIS IS THE ONE U WANT!

I bought 2 of these and put them together on my back porch to make a screened in room. They are very durable and the adhesion is like glue, it holds up to high winds. The Velcro is very secure and solid holding as well. The magnetic opening is a breeze to open and it snaps right closed as well.

Door with magnets are easy to separate and stick well automatically. The adhesive Velcro that comes with the product is not good. Does not stick to outside surfaces. I didn't know my wall was concrete/brick and it pretty much fell overnight. I am buying a separate adhesive to see if it works better. The push pins also were weak. Nails would be better and not likely to bend...but I was trying to push it into brick.

With this detachable, bi-parting, self-closing screen, I can now have the garage door to my shop open when the weather is agreeable, and not have to suffer all the bugs that would otherwise come in.I love it.

Better than the previous kind I have purchased

Item is as pictured. Looks durable, but too early to tell.

We like this item but found out after we purchased it,it cannot be used with steel doors because of the magnets.

Very easy to install. Top quality Velcro.

Not size as advrtised, not even close to fitting frame!
