I've lived in houses smaller than that! It looks way too complex (and expensive).

It sure looks roomy I tell ya

I agree that it is rather complicated but probably well worth the effort to erect if someone is claustrophobic or wants complete protection from critters.

Looks, and is priced, a lot like warbonnet's bug net. The GT has spreader bars, which will help for those who feel closed in. Never been an issue to me as the open aspect of a net doesn't leave me feeling closed in. As I'm a backpacker, the extra weight and space of this net does not appeal to me, but for a car camper or back yard hammock enthusiast, I'd say this was a nice choice.

Go with Papa Smurf's bug net. The bug sox is my preferred choice for the Grand Trunks.

What type of camping or hiking do you intend to be using your bugnet with?

Look at the detailed illustration: Includes a collection tray for thousands of 'skitos that died on contact with your permethrin-treated hammock......and somehow got in with you before you closed it.

Not enough attention, though, to be serious, about the size of the mesh. If you want to keep the smallest midges out, great area is desireable to permit air flow. I'd love to be referred to a chart of air flow against mesh size at varying breeze levels.

The price made me close the page. Check this bug net out.

Have you noticed the weight.
The net weighs 22.5oz.
