I just purchased ( not yet received ) my first hammock and tarp. I am looking for a cheap bug net. I missed the one sold for 25 so something like that would be fine. I will take a diy like fronken. I will even take a kit with directions and all the material. I will be trying to locate the netting at a locale store if I do I will update this post. I don't have a sewing machine but feel sure I could find one, that why I am on the fence about either buying or making.
You can order the materials from diygearsupply.com. I just ordered some noseeum material for a fronkey bugnet myself!
what was the total cost with tax and shipping. and thanks again.Originally Posted by bamaman08
You could also make it out of tulle. It would be way cheaper and lighter. I just bought 40yds for I think $17. Keep in mind though that it's fragile and easier to tear than noseeum net and will keep out mosquitoes but not noseeums.

I bought 7 yds of noseeum for roughly $28 with shipping, but I already had shock chord, thread, and a chord lock.
Also, like SwinginIt said, you could get tulle which is super cheap. You can find it at a Hobby Lobby, Joanne's, etc..
ok so i bit the bullet. i got the supplies from diy. thanks bamaman. hope mine turns out as good as yours. I bought the stretchy stuff they had on sale. figured if i am going to mess it up it might as well be with the cheaper stuff.
