I haven't done a lot of looking yet, I was thinking the Walmart sheer curtains, or noseeum.

Watch this video in it he show the size of the holes. A little over half a mm both ways so I am sure it will keep those midgets out.

Why do people use black material Instead of white for netting? Wouldn't black be hotter than white on summer days

you can see thru the black better, better vision

That is what I thought it was just had to ask . Planning on getting the material tomorrow... but my trip fell through this weekend but still took the family on a day hike.

I have been really busy with work this week but last night I took the harbor freight 96x72 cargo net and took it apart which gave me a total of 100 feet of shock cord for 8.99 ( I have a coupon) which after tax come out to about 10 cents a foot. Tonight I will make the rest of the bags and hopefully tomorrow I can get them all hung to set the ridge lines to everyones liking to I can start making the bugnets.
