The netting is great the Velcro is not..., 17 July 2014

The netting is great the Velcro is not, but the cost was cheap enough to warrant taking a shot.

As others have said here, the Velcro is not very good because it is very narrow and the net pulls the Velcro away from the window frame after a short amount of time. Re-sticking it down will only result in the same thing and you will find yourself repeatedly sticking the Velcro, with net attached, back into place. I read about this on earlier reviews and thought this might be because the Velcro is only a few mm wide, about 3 or 4 at most. To combat any problems I used the tape in smaller sections, rather than running one section along the whole length of the window, but doubled them up so they were wider. At the top corners, I tripled them making the sections over a cm wide, but still the thing would come down, which meant the adhesive backing may also have been at fault.

I put this up, which was difficult, in three rooms and everytime I went to open the net to open or shut the window, the sticky Velcro came off the window and would not stick back down.
