'Walk right through, hands-free' and keep the bugs out: This magnetic screen door is down to just $13

Spring just started and with Memorial Day close behind, there are a lot of sunny days and warm nights ahead. While we're excited about more time to be outside, what we're really looking forward to are the three months of backyard entertaining — cocktails on the patio, shrimp on the barbie, movie night on the lawn. What we're not looking forward to? The ordeal of ferrying food, drink and supplies back and forth from the house. Elbowing the sliding glass door open while holding a platter of dogs and burgers, then rushing to shove it back in place before bugs get inside. Let's put an end to this madness, shall we? What you need is the Magic Mesh Magnetic Screen Door. It's the ingenious, innovative and inexpensive — just $13! — answer to your problems.

The Magic Mesh Magnetic Screen Door installs with a velcro strip or just a couple of tacks. It stays shut when you want it to be, but opens effortlessly when you step right through it. No more spills!

Not surprisingly, it's been a big hit with Amazon shoppers, to the tune of 15,000-plus five-star reviews. "It's Magic!" proclaimed one happy shopper. "I needed something that made it easy to go in and out when I grilled out on the deck... My husband calls it The Transformer Screen Door because of the way it sounds when it closes. The magnets on the door are very strong and powerful."

Oh, yeah: the Magic Mesh is also a godsend for pet owners whose four-legged friends like to spend part of the day alfresco. "A Must Have!" gushed this flat dweller. "I bought this because a family member had one in their home and it seemed very practical for keeping bugs out without having to close your door, especially if you're in an apartment. I love it I love it I love it!! I have it on my patio door and best of all my dog can come and go as he pleases because he loves sitting outside on the patio."

"We live in Alaska; we have beautiful summers and long winters," related one northerner. "For the price of the Magic Mesh Screens, we simply install at the beginning of summer and take down in the fall when it gets windy. We absolutely love these screens. You simply just walk right through, hands-free. Our two dogs and cat have the option to walk onto the deck to soak up the sun whenever they choose."
