Amazing? Screen door (curtain) with neodymium magnet auto-lock—is it revolutionary? And it’s only 2,875 yen!!!

From around April, “The Battle Against Insects and Weeds in the Countryside”
unfolds into an unimaginable war. I’m taking even more countermeasures this year than last year.
Thinking about it that way, I was really scared last year—sigh.

By the way, if you’re selling a house in the countryside, “definitely in winter”
because there are no weeds or insects at all.
So, rather than such countryside talk… in this wonderfully good season, I can’t open the windows.
The reason is… “flies” come in.
I was really torn between installing a proper screen door or going with something cheap,
but I decided on “cheap and easy.”

LIXIL’s “Shimaerun desu α”

I thought this was really innovative! But…
for our size, it costs close to 60,000 yen… I was a bit shocked.
Rail installation is necessary, and while it’s removable, “if you remove it, it’s in the way”

Wait a minute… I’ve seen this somewhere before…
That’s it! It was the original screen door that came with the log house!
It gave a very cheap impression, so I rejected it.

After weeks of deliberation, I saw something on Instagram Reels

about easy open-and-close with magnets.
I became very interested, researched and researched, worried and worried, “even if it fails, it won’t hurt” so I decided
on an Amazon magnetic screen door.

From Amazon, delivery in about 10 days

Ordered 5/26 → Arrived 6/5
Today, the compactly folded package arrived.
For a moment, “Huh? What’s this?” I thought—it was so compact that my expectations dropped dramatically.

Anyway, I degreased and attached the velcro to the rail and finished installation (*´ω｀*)
It has some quirks, so care is needed.

You need some “play” in the middle

At first, I installed it pulled tight, and of course it wouldn’t close at all.
By creating some play by folding the center slightly, it started closing smoothly.

“Making the width about 50mm longer” is a good idea.
Too short or too tight won’t allow for recovery… please be careful

The velcro is very strong.

The curtain side already has the soft part sewn and fixed.
When attaching the other side, “make sure to degrease and press firmly.”
You can attach it very securely.

This is what the mesh looks like.
Flies and mosquitoes probably can’t get in? I think.

Personally, I’m fine with just reducing them a bit, so there’s no problem at all.

Enjoying pleasant breezes and natural scents

Since it’s held by neodymium magnets, the middle opens easily.

It closes automatically with magnets, but “there’s some gap.”
Don’t expect too much. After all, it’s only 2,875 yen…

This makes things so much more pleasant, I’m really happy (*´ω｀*)
When everything is closed and air conditioning is on, it feels stuffy.

I need to enjoy this great environment every day.
Next, if I can install a stylish sun shade, it’ll be even more pleasant.
I’m constantly customizing both the log house and the factory to my satisfaction for comfort.

It turned out better than I expected… by the way, the color is gray.
