    Just found this at my local Walmart. Looks like no see 'em netting to me. What do you guys think?

    It could be. I always walk through that aisle and find gems from time to time. I bought 30 yards of 1.0 ripstop they had on clearance for $0.50 a yard. Let us know what you do with your find.
    Crayons - they might look different, but they all taste the same

    Well my plan is to add it to one of my Diy hammocks, either a full length or maybe a diy half wit

    So upon further inspection I'd say I was right. Comparing it to left over bug net from past projects I can't see or feel a difference. Tomorrow i'm gonna weight a few scraps of each and see if maybe there is a weight difference but I doubt it will be significant. Anyways, I might have to go back and buy the rest of what they have on hand. $1 a yard is pretty good.

    Tug on the non seamed edge to try and rip it. There's loads of tulle, mesh etc that'll rip easily, if it doesn't rip it's the perfect bug netting

    Everything I've found at Walmart has been some form of Tulle. I do the rip test and it fails.

    If you found bug netting, that's a score.
