The double sided tape that is located around the outside border of the net does not stick well enough to be hold up the entire screen. Even if you tried using duct tape all around it to hold it in place it would still fall off. If you really want a screen door then just go the regular route and buy one that has a frame to hold everything in place. but then again you would be spending hundreds for it though and not $4. You really get what you paid for on this product.

And about quality... Well, it's $4. But I love the idea not having frame around. I use this mesh on my patio door that they call "garden style" (?) - two doors on hinges that swing outside.

To get this screen working I stapled pieces of velcro tape to the outside frame (it's wooden) and another side of velcro - on edge of the mesh. Works great and is removable.

I also stapled top of the net (both parts) to the small piece of wood and wrapped couple times around - this way two parts are perfectly aligned. And then used 3 screws to attach it to the top frame of the door.

Works for us

Our mistake with the screen was expecting our great galumphing brute of a Lab to respect the flimsiness of the screen and not come out the other side of it with the screen and its frame ending up hanging around his neck.
