How well do the curtains keep the mosquitos out?

How are the magnetized? to the poles at each end? Are they weighted on the bottoms?

Hi Maureen:

The curtains are magnetized both at the poles, and on the sides where they meet when pulled together. They are weighted at the bottom. They are pretty effective at keeping mosquitoes out, though there may be some already in the space before you pull the curtains if they have been left open for some time.

Regards - Ann
