How does it attach to the door frame or should I ask how did you attach it to the door frame? I looked at the web sit and it really doesn't say what is used to attach it.

From what I saw on the TV infomercial it attaches to the door frame via velcro.

That looks great! Was cutting it a problem & where did you have to cut (what part of the screen)?

Hi sorry it took so long to reply just got back from camping at Sedona AZ for 2 weeks.
The screen door works great, our trailer door opening is 24'' so I cut each panel at 13''
the opposite side of the magnets and sewed a new peace of ribbon on, I used grosgrain black 7/8 wide sewed on both edges.and ribbon on both sides of each panel.
I tried the velcro on the wood door frame first but was not strong enough so I used the tacks that came with the screens put 1 across from each magnet held fine I did leave the velcro underneath.
At the top most trailers have that padded header I put the screen above that,
make sure the screen doesn't touch the floor of the trailer or it will not close right, (just at the floor) I had no problem with flying insects.

Yes, we have tried this product on our 5th wheel as well as our house. It works like a charm in so far as keeping the bugs out and it makes going in and out with your hands full very easy; just back through the opening to avoid catching on whatever you have in your hands. Having reported on the good part I need to list a couple of concerns. First, the product is a bit irregular in shape and as a result keeping the edges smooth and flat requires many more velcro patches than provided. I actually use a continuous strip on the door frame and the edge of the Magic Mesh. I recommend sewing the strip to the mesh as the the self adhesive gives out fairly soon in a hot or wet environment. Second, and this can be a BIG second, you can fall through Magic Mesh. While it gives the appearance of a barrier of sorts, it is only light screening and some magnets. If you have little people along, or pets for that matter, expect someone to accidentally fall or push through it. I know that RV screen doors are not safe to lean against but they have more structure and seem to elicit a bit more caution. Final analysis, good idea under the right circumstances.

I don't have it but a freind of ours does. They have a camper with no screen door and it works great. Their 3 pugs like it as well
