Review on Upgrade Your Home'S Comfort: Insulated Magnetic Door Curtain With Self-Sealing Technology by Dustin Wright

Pet friendly (makeshift) doggie door-- yay!

I was looking for a double- panel, strong plastic, magnetic curtain rather than the kind that is just a double- panel 'screen' door curtain, to use over the doorway of a backyard door. So that it would keep the cold air from escaping from indoors, and seal up good enough to keep all insects OUT. Not thinking I would ever find this. Was so glad I found it in just enough time to be able to use while a family member went away on vacation. I will say that it has been working out great because of the fact that there was a glass screen door that I propped open just enough to give the dog enough room to exit. It actually helped block larger gusts of wind that are common where I live. Other wise this would never have worked in order for me to be able to leave the back door open about 1/3 of the way, for the family dog to come and go at his leisure, with this sealed up over the doorway. I put this up from the inside rather than the outside of the doorway because the glass door hardware was in the way and it worked out to my amazement.Keep it mind that this door curtain will not keep out things like mice, feral cats, skunks, racoons, snakes etc. So be careful if you need to use it like I am using it as a doggy door, if your pet isn't much of a hunter. Fortunately we have a terrier that is capable of keeping all unwelcome critters at bay. It is best if you have a backyard that is fully enclosed by a fence. This was only a temporary fix that has worked out well so far.I was impressed with the design of this, and was happy that I did not have to use tacks (unless I wanted to in a few places) because of the adhesive backing on the back of the velcro strip that was strong and stayed put. The design of this curtain was well thought out, and arrived as promised within 2 days, as stated. I totally recommend this item if sawing out a bottom square of a wooden door to add an actual doggy door is not an option. Helped reduce my stress level during the times I could not drive over to let the family dog out, every few hours. When I returned it was sealed up properly so it does work, and our dog had no problem entering and exiting the curtain. A gentle breeze makes this curtain door work even better by helping to seal it up with the magnets. Thank you Appiness and Walmart.
