Entity BA spoke thus: > To my amazement, I find that it's REI who has the least-expensive > no-seeum netting by-the-yard! Is it good stuff? My fave bug netting is army surplus. If you ever spot an army surplus mosquito tent (hang over a bed) at a yard sale grab it. I got one years ago and the quality is excellent with fine thread and a uniform weave. It passes air better than thicker thread weight fabric and allows for better visibility. It's very flexible and conforms to odd shapes like the rear hatch while remaining nicely stretched. > And, the million-dollar question is, ... black, grey, or white? This stuff only comes in green as far as I know. I made a large screen for my rear hatch and 2 for the sliding windows. I got the rolls of flexible plastic magnet from a hobby shop and made stick on screens. It has one side sticky so you just stick the screen to the magnetic strip and you're good to go. Easy storage! Great for curtains too! -- Gnarlie http://www.Gnarlodious.com/Vanagon/Vanagon.html
