no seeum screen supplier?

[anchorout]

At Lake Powell, I had tiny moths swarm through my skeeter netting at will. I just got my order of "no seeum" cloth, through Amazon, and it is more for use on a bridal veil than in a window. It"s useless.

If anyone has ordered, used, and is satisfied with, their gnat netting, I would appreciate knowing your supplier.

Here's one

I get mine from Kirkhams Tent and Awning by the yard, but I don't see it on their website.

I use army surplus no see em net. I got one tent cover for $10, and it is huge. We use velcro on the front hatch, and opening window.

With this we didn't find any significant no see em's at Powell.





Detail of screen and Velcro hot glued to the screen for window. Notice that this screen is much smaller than the usual "insect screen". However, this means a little more wind resistance. We use fans to pull air into the boat.



Velcro on the area around the fore hatch--also notice the "shade" which can be drawn to keep light (and heat) out of the V berth area.
Also note the bungee cords on the ceiling--we put Eagle Creek Pack cubes with clothes under these bungee cords for clothing storage.

In the past I've gotten it from an outdoor supplier such as REI (it's used in tents) or Sailrite.

You may already be planning it this way, but I've always made any no-see-um netting as a removable overlay. Reason being it blocks air flow much more than typical insect screening and I am only in places with no-see-ums sometimes. So this way I have the better airflow of the typical insect screening as my default but can add no-see-um netting as necessary (and just put up with the very reduced airflow at those times). I make them just as "soft" overlays (no framing) so that they can be stuffed and stowed in a small bag when not in use.

And, this lady has a source list for outdoor fabrics and fittings in case you need other stuff. I have used her for custom sewing when a project was beyond my talents.

Also a page on how to get started on projects, including time tested advice on sewing machine choice, tuneup, etc.
