Second time... not so much

I originally purchased this screen 4 years ago to the day.(thanks for the info Amazon, lol) It was great. The screen material was pretty sturdy and thick. After getting a slight tear in it, I purchased another one What a difference...not in a good way. The screen material of the second one is much thinner/cheaper. Because the material of the first one was of such higher quality you knew it was there (in a good way) and as such it gave a slight amount of privacy. This new one...the material is so thin you literally can NOT see it when it is up and I almost ripped it getting it out the box. Also the length is not the same. The screens attach via Velcro to your inside door jam. I tried using the same attachments...I had a good inch opening at the bottom. Tried to adjust it by lowering the tension rod...yep at least an inch opening. That size opening will allow bugs in. I just left the original one up. Even with the slight tear, it is of far better quality.It has held up for years to kids hiding and pulling on it to adults who can't figure out how to open and walk through it AND that's with leaving it up all year. I can't imagine this lasting a week.
