Mosi net help

[Gabe]

Went out for a cracking two nighter this weekend. It was perfect In every way until Saturday night when the wind dropped completely. At first it was welcome. After about five minutes we realised that the breeze had been keeping the midges at bay!!
So, I have two DD Camping hammocks that are In great working order so I don't want to buy a frontline, where can I get mosi netting from? I'm after olive or black and probably need it 'on the reel' as i guess noone makes hammock shaped mosi nets.
Your help is much appreciated.

Cheers, a still scratching Gabe!!!!!

I have the same issue actually. I was thinking about buying an ex british army mossi net (the old style ones with the 4 short wooden poles for use on a cot bed), but i'm not sure if the mesh is fine enough for midges... Can anyone shed some light on this?

If it is fine mesh, then this could be a nice cheap option for doctoring (and in olive too).

Hennies sell a net made for hammocks, made by Fox I think.

I've got one but it's not fine enough for the midge,mind you I'm not sure if it's British come to think of it.
Had to get a proper fine one anyway.

You can get very fine net (1000 mesh/sq inch, no see um is 800 I think) for little money here: http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/...er-155-mesh-qcm-25g-sqm-ultralight::1311.html
