    Bug nets again

    Spring is here as the posts slowly change from Under Quilts to Bug Nets.

    I want to make 2 Hangnout style bug nets.
    I need 120" x 30" and 120" x 60" (two of each)
    I think I can just eek this out by cutting up this bug net:

    Any comments on the quality before I order?i
    Also, if I cut this up am I going to have unravelling issues?

    Thanks

    I suspect that is the same type of material my single military bug net is made of. If you roll hem or grosgrain the edges I wouldn't expect any fraying issues.

    FWIW, In my experience, Bug netting from Hancock or JoAnne will likely be cheaper.
    I think I got mine at Hancock for less than $2/yard, without a coupon. Would have been less if I had know about the 40 and 50% off coupons when I purchased.
