    The TED Bug net

    Here's a detachable version of Hanginout's zipperless bug net. I call it the Top Entry Detachable (TED) Bug net. Hope you like it!

    This is the first that I have seen this design, ME LIKEY ALOT.. I need two more bug nets for my daughters and their hammocks. I was trying to think of an easy way for my 6yr old to get in and out of a bug net with out having to use a zipper or the bug sock. (I don't think she would be able to open or close the sock).

    Looks great!!

    Very nice indeed.

    Love some more details like:

    What's it weigh?

    How the heck does a sewing impaired person like me make one?

    Better yet, when can I order one?

    How much does it weigh (inevitable question)?
    .. truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more. - Herman Melville

    Was wondering weight too.
    and how small it packs down?
    and how do you attach it?

    @Pipsissewa - Looks like you can go into biz!

    I haven't weighed it, but the weight depends on the fabric you use. I used organza, but if you use tulle or 'squito/no-see-um net, it'll be a lot lighter than mine. At least, you save the weight of a zipper!
