@@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.
@@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.
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.
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?
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 🙄.
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.
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 :)
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 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. :)
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.
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.
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 :)
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.

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. :) Further duct tape is very durable and weather resistant.
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 ⚠
Fantastic idea. I've started making these for all our windows. Thank you!
Wow, great to hear! 😍
hi in the last part of the video other than magnetic tape what are they sticking
@@2012ramya We used Duct Tape to wrap the magnetic tape and fly screen :)
@@supermagnetecom does it still work with duct tape? Is it still magnetic?

You can also get A and B magnetic strips, so they snap together, if you need to use this method on anything that’s not magnetic.
Our strips work together, too. With just a minimal overlap everything sits fine. :)
Thx! I like this idea better, quicker too.

Thats the brain in the centre of the prayer mat with 2 elephants on top of it 😂
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.
Or if you will install them from Inside 😉

From the street, you will mainly see the fabric tape. This is often available in other colours than black. This makes it less visible :)

When you fold the duct tape over the magnetic side, does this intefere with the magnet?
It does not interfere with the magnetic tape, but it can slightly affect the magnetic strength. Especially if it is not applied smoothly.
With these using a 200-400 wire mesh, will that filter pollution or pollen? Or just small bugs
Unfortunately, we cannot give you any information about this, as it is not within our area of competence.
Does it prevent dust from entering the home please let me know

Does the magnetic tape stick to itself or do I need two rolls with different polarity? Thanks
@@ChrisTheSparky It sticks to itself :)
Great idea! What is the tape you use in 0:59???? the grey one, thanks
Fabric tape (also known as Duct Tape) i:)
How strong is the magnet on these? Will they deter a cat from hoping out the window?
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.
Common sense says NO!!!!
does it let enough air in thoguh????
Of course, it depends on the net you use :) But normally, insect screens that you buy in DIY stores are sufficiently permeable to air.
What does the fabric tape do?
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. :)
@@supermagnetecom can you remove the magnetic part often to open and close window if the window opens outward. Thanks!
how well does the screen attach to the magnet on the window frame? is it well fitted or is it loose in some places which means insects could come in?
Due to the very regular magnetisation of the magnetic tape, it attaches very accurate.
How does this perform in strong winds?
We did not test behaviour in strong winds, yet. The magnetic tapes are strong, but we cannot grant it to hold in strong winds.
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.
Magnets! What a great idea :0
Thanks for sharing. Does it work with windows opened outwards please?
Yeah good question. Wonder if it does
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.
Katzensicher oder fällt meine katze mit raus wenn sie sich an das gitter lehnt?
Wir würden das nicht als Katzensicher klassifizieren.
So I use the same magnet strip for the frame and the screen? it sticks to itself?
Exactly :)
Leider wurde auch hier nicht ausführlich gezeigt an welchen Stellen des Fensters gemessen wird.
Wie viel Meter Magnet-Band wird ungefähr verwendet für das gezeigte Fenster?
Da es sich um ein relativ großes Fenster handelt (130x110cm), haben wir knapp 10 Meter benötigt. :
How strong that magnetic tape perform in rain ??
The magnetic force is not influenced by rain.
Where can I buy the bug screen?
BAHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU ARE AMAZINGGGG! THANK YOU
My understanding is the magnetic taps does not stick together. What is the purpose of using duct tape? for magnetic tapes to stick to gather?
The magnetic tapes adhere to each other. The Duct tape is used to safely attach the fly screen to the magnetic tape
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 :)
this is an awesome Idea going to try to make some for all my windows. TY!
Thank you! Have fun! :)
Can it be any tape? Or has to be duct tape.. I’m in the basement, so strong wind is not a big deal for me.
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.
Did you just buy the products separately and do this or did you buy it as a kit?
We bought them separately :)
@@supermagnetecom what did you use for the screen? What type of screen is it? And the Magnetic strips, where did you get them?
@@ayeshahafeez7712 We used conventional flyscreen and duct tape from the hardware store. The magnetic tape is from our own store www.supermagnete.com

..Magnetic tape? Genius!
Great idea but the duct tape won’t last long in direct sun.
Great idea
Hello there, thanks for the video. Did you add the duct tape to protect the magnetic tape from the damp and elements?
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.
@@supermagnetecom And the tape over the magnetic strip doesn't reduce the magnetic element?
@@kailani37 No, because it is not between but on top of the tapes.
Thanks for helping

How much carpet fur did you get caught up on?? Lol
The only problem is to put it outside the window it can be fall.
