    Bug Nets

    Switching from integrated bug net hammocks to a separate bug net to put on the hammock when needed. How many venders make them? So far I have found Wilderness Logics and BIAS, who am I missing? Thanks

    i actually found a woman on etsy who makes them. i'm ordering 2 from her (she offers them in 4 diff colors too) once she gets back from vacation. i've been searching for bugnets for a while now and i'm finally going to dive. i spent so much money on my 2 setups thus far, i didn't want to splurge TOO much on just a bugnet.

    I made a fronkey net out of sheer curtains. I am not very good at sewing but it works amazingly well for around $30.

    +1 on the Fronkey design. Even used no-sew tape and its holding up fine.

    Can anyone speak on the differences between the curtain and the actual no see um nets?
    are the curtains hotter or less durable?

    Simply Light Designs has two versions.

    I made a couple using the curtains of different fabric. Found them hotter and much heavier. The weave started to fray a bit too. I ended up tossing them and spending on actual netting. But for those on a budget they work. Just treat them kindly.
