Fly screen

We have our back door open at all times due to dogs (and I like it open) but due to living in a country side location we are plagued by flies.

Can anyone recommend a fly screen/door/net/thingymagig that will physically stop them entering and ideally allow the dogs to go in and out at will?

Would an electronic fly zapper work?? We were plagued with them but none since using it

We’ve got one that we bought off Amazon and fitted it to a simple wooden frame that DH made. The magnets on it, to keep the two bits together where you walk through, are very good but flies still get in when you go through it.

Yes! I had these. They're like curtains that join by magnets all the way down. You tape them to the outside frame and they attach to that with velcro. Worked brilliantly and lasted 3 years, so a good bargain.
