Where to buy no-see-em type netting ~800 holes/inch

[paulbf]

First time poster:

I searched the forum and someone mentioned pennineoutdoor.co.uk and pointnorth.co.uk as good sources for netting,

I was wondering if there were any alternatives? I'm based in the UK.

I need about 5m off the roll. Minimum 130cm wide. The mesh hole size needs to be ~0.7mm or ~800 holes per inch.

Thanks
Paul

Welcome to the forum

Midgie netting ? fabrics'n'stuff might carry it too.

Lot of insect netting out there that just doesn't keep the midge out; you're right to specify sizes.

cheers,
Toddy

Hello and welcome Paul,

Toddy's right, some net curtain material in fabrics shops is perfect.

Cheers

This outfit have superb midge netting. It's a lot finer than the mesh size you quoted but keeps everything out.

I am a very satisfied customer.

You could always drop Mat a line at UKhammocks too.

His self made woodsman range are specifically midge proof. He 'may' have some to sell.

Thanks for the replies
Just to add to the links for any lurkers, I found some 1000 Holes/Inch net at extremtextil.de, I've ordered a sample.

It would be great if all suppliers provided images like bilmo's above so I could see what I was buying.

I'm going to second Bilmo's link to the Midgie.net stuff. Excellent. I use it on my hammock.
