BKSAI DIY Window Net to Keep Bugs Out (Zip Opening, Cut to Size) 130x150CM
Reviews
Product description
The essentials
If you’re fed up with flies, wasps and other small pests getting in through an open window, a DIY window fly net is a straightforward fix. The BKSAI window net is designed around one practical idea: it should let fresh air in, while still blocking bugs, and it should be easier to live with than a full mesh net you have to take down every time you want to open the window.
On paper, this is the kind of window net that suits everyday use: you install it without drilling, keep the mesh in place with adhesive hook tape, then use the included zippered opening so you can access the handle area and open/close the window without removing the entire screen. That “hands-on” access matters more than people think, especially with windows you use frequently.
What it is, and how it works day to day
This is a cut-to-size DIY fly screen for windows made from high density fiberglass mesh. The mesh is tear-resistant, and the net is intended to sit over the frame with a clear view out, while leaving some airflow.
The setup approach is fairly simple: you paste the hook tape onto the window, hang the mesh, check the operating space needed for the window handle, then install the zippered opening into the fly net. After that, you cut the mesh to fit the shape and size of your window.
A useful real-life example: imagine you open a sash window daily to air the room. Instead of lifting a loose corner of mesh or having to take the screen down, you pull the zip opening into position, reach the handle through the bug net area, and close the window again with the net still in place.
Where it shines (and why shoppers might like it)
Key takeaways
- Breathable pest protection with visibility: it’s meant to keep out annoying insects and still let some fresh air through, with a clearer view than heavier coverings.
- Fibreglass mesh for durability: the net is made from high density fiberglass mesh, described as tear-resistant.
- Access without removing everything: the 38 cm large zippered opening is intended to let you reach the handle and open/close the window without taking the whole net down.
- No-drill installation: you use hook tape and place the zip opening to suit the way your window handle works.
- Custom fit, within limits: cuttable mesh and a stated fit for windows up to 130x150 cm and smaller.
What to know before you buy
This is a good option if you want a pest barrier that stays on the window and doesn’t turn every opening of the window into a fiddly task. However, it’s not magic, and there are a couple of practical limits to keep in mind.
Firstly, it’s only going to be as effective as the “no gap” fit around the edges. The description stresses that it leaves no gap, but in real use, your cut size and how carefully the mesh and hook tape sit around the frame will matter.
Secondly, it depends on your window style and where the handle sits. The zip opening is designed so you can DIY its position to match the handle, which is convenient, but it also means take your time during setup—if the opening isn’t aligned well, you may find access awkward.
Finally, the backing is adhesive hook tape with reinforcement (and extra adhesive strength is claimed), but adhesive installs can vary by surface condition. If your window frame isn’t clean or is uneven, you’ll want to be cautious about how smoothly the tape bonds.

Who it’s for, and who should look elsewhere
It’s a solid pick if you want a practical, DIY-installed window net that gives you everyday access via a zippered opening—especially if you use the window regularly and don’t want to wrestle with a full mesh every time.
It may not be the best match if you’re expecting a fully pre-made, “stick it on and forget it” solution with no measuring. Because it’s cut to size and the zip opening position is DIY-adjusted, it suits people who are happy to do a bit of setup work.
It’s also worth considering that the net is described for multiple window types (including roof window, sash window, sliding window, skylight window, bow and bay windows, and transom windows). Still, the final usability depends on whether your handle and operating space can be aligned with that zip access.
Should you buy it?
If you want bug and fly protection that stays put, breathes, and lets you open and close the window using the handle through a 38 cm zip opening, this BKSAI DIY window net makes sense for many UK households. The no-drill approach and cut-to-size design are especially relevant when you want something flexible for different window shapes up to 130x150 cm.
However, it’s not for you if you’re after a completely pre-aligned screen with zero measuring, or if you’re not comfortable with a DIY setup where alignment and coverage around the edges matter for avoiding gaps.

It’s described as quick and easy, with a no-drill approach using hook tape and a DIY zip opening position. Expect a bit of measuring and cutting to suit your window handle and frame.

Yes—by design it allows some fresh air while aiming to keep insects out.
Is it suitable for all window types?
The description says it fits types such as roof windows, sash windows, sliding windows, skylights, bow and bay windows, and transom windows, but your handle position still needs to work with the zip opening placement.
