I was prompted by another thread, on permetherin, to search a bit on bug nets, especially treated ones. As I mention in that thread, I have an issue with limited ventilation, but not with the toughness and durability of bug-stopping of the mesh in Clark and Warbonnnet hammocks.
Here is a report on ventilation (and color, what I asked about) from the proprietor or this specialist company, dealing in safe travel. (It sells repellent and ---icide products, and water treatment, as well as treated bug netting.)
The netting this company sells has about 200 holes /sq in.
The treated single and double treated nets are in green. The treated Nimbus is in white and is designed for an 8 foot height (that can be extended with a cord) and is 41 feet in circumference which fits from cots to king size.
To my knowledge no one is making these large nets out of no-see-um since the mesh size on that material is 640 and tighter which makes it almost a solid material when you consider ventilation, which at 640 plus is almost none. As far as toughness it’s not like no-see-um which is what is used in our BugOut bugs suits but will stand up to it intended purpose.
Italics added.
