UtauHom Adjustable DIY Magnetic Fly Screen for Windows (White Frame, Grey Mesh) up to 120 x 110cm
Product description
The essentials
If you’re fed up with flies and mosquitoes drifting in every time you open a window, this UtauHom adjustable DIY magnetic fly screen is designed to sit on your window frame and close off the gap. It’s built around a high-density fiberglass mesh and a magnetic strip system, so you still get airflow, but fewer insects make it through.
On paper, it looks like a sensible “sort it yourself” solution: the mesh can be cut to fit your window, the magnets are intended for repeated open/close, and the kit includes enough material for installation without special tools. The trade-off is that you need to measure carefully and plan for trimming and reserving mesh size—if you’re the type who wants plug-and-play with no cutting, you might find the process a bit fiddly.
What you’ll notice in daily use
The idea is simple: when the window opens, the screen stays in place, then the magnets help it close again. There’s also a window-proof clip mentioned as part of the system to help keep the screen where it belongs and avoid it slipping down.
A practical way to think about it: imagine keeping bedroom windows slightly open at night for ventilation. With a magnetic screen fitted, you’re not relying purely on a fixed barrier—rather, the screen is meant to follow the rhythm of your window use. That’s the main advantage versus basic net curtains or loose mesh panels, which can sag, catch, or need constant adjustment.
One limitation to keep in mind: this is a DIY screen. Even though it’s described as easy to install (about 15 minutes, with an installation video), accuracy still matters because it needs cutting to size.
Where it fits (and where it doesn’t)
It’s a good fit if you want an adjustable fly screen you can tailor to your own window frames, and you’re happy to do a bit of measuring and trimming. It’s also aimed at people who want decent airflow while reducing insect entry—particularly in homes where you regularly open windows.
It may not suit you if your window size is awkwardly close to the maximum, or if you strongly prefer not to cut materials at all. Also, if you don’t want to remove and clean the mesh when needed, the “can be removed” approach may not be a big selling point for you.
Key takeaways for choosing the right size
This screen is marketed as adjustable and includes guidance to cut the mesh and reserve the right amount for fitting. The listing mentions supporting a maximum of 48″x 43″, and it repeatedly stresses measuring your window before buying.
There’s an extra nuance in the provided notes: the actual size is described as around (120 x 130) ± 3cm, and you’re advised to choose a larger size. That’s the sort of detail that can make or break a DIY fit—so it’s worth taking it seriously, especially if your window opening isn’t a perfect match.

Installation, cleaning and durability (what the listing claims)
The listing says it installs in roughly 15 minutes and that there is an installation video to watch. Magnets are described as permanent, with magnetic force up to 720GS, and the screen is claimed to be open/close capable tens of thousands of times. It also highlights precision sewing and a high-density mesh that shouldn’t be damaged even after repeated use.
For cleaning, it notes the screen can be removed, which is useful if you live near dustier areas or want to refresh it seasonally.
One practical limitation: because it’s cut-to-fit and the mesh has to be sized with a reserved section, rushing the measurements can lead to a fit that’s less tidy than you expected. If you’re in a hurry, consider measuring twice and allowing for the “choose a larger size” guidance.

Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a magnetic fly screen that’s adjustable for your window and you’re willing to measure and cut the mesh to get a neat fit. It’s aimed at everyday use where windows are opened regularly, and the magnet-and-clip approach is designed to keep the screen in place without constantly fiddling.
Skip it if you want a completely no-effort, no-cut installation, or if you’re not comfortable double-checking window dimensions before ordering. With DIY kits like this, the fit is mostly down to your measurement work—so if that part isn’t your thing, it can feel less straightforward than a fixed-size screen.
If you buy it, the smart move is to confirm your window size carefully, lean towards the “choose a larger size” note from the listing, and plan for trimming and reserving the right mesh area before you start.
