sealable no-see-um for under tarp

[littlebiglane]

Happy New Year everyone.

I am looking for some recommends.

I am doing some camping in a tick and midge infested area and I wanted to shut the blighters (especially the lime-infested ticks) out from my sleeping area. I normally use a hammock with a no-see-um but this time the only option in floor dwelling down in the leaf litter.

I am looking for a no-see-um netting that can be rigged under a tarp but has a zip entry and a solid floor. This I would hope will stop too many of the blighters.

I took a cursory glance at the Granite Gear Haven which seems the kind of thing I had in mind but am wincing at the price. Does anyone have any ideas/alternatives?

Thanks

LBL

you need a travel hammock from dd hammocks which is what you want and also can be used as a hammock

The British Army ones are worth a look, can be quite cheap too.

I was hoping to avoid getting a fourth hammock I could do with a little more space that what this offers. I would like 'sit-up' and gear space. But I suppose its an option. Having it classically (and simply) hang under the ridgeline of the tarp I thought might be the most elegant option.

Buy one of these gelert solo and just use the inner

Doh! Never thought of buying a cheap tent for its inner.:11doh:

How about the Go-lite shangri-la nest,425g,A-frame type set-up....i know your suppose to use it with one of their shelters but am sure you could adapt it?Been thinking bout getting one myself,and at 65 quid not cheap.....but cheaper than GGear!

You could make something yourself, with some mosquito netting and a zipper. suspend the top from a point on the underside of your tarp (only in the head end, the foot end you have a sleeping bag on anyway). Use stuff (boots, stove, axe, Mac Classic, whatever) to hold the corners out. I used an open bottom one (basically a pyramid) all summer in Sweden, since the tentipi allowed a bit too many mosquitos in for comfort.

in australia you can buy mozziedomes in every campingshop- in fact just like the inner of a tent made from moscitonet with a floor attached. i used the inner of a tent(flysheet got ripped) instead- had the big advantage that nobody can look inside( gives you a bit more privacy)...

Be aware that mozzie nets aren't effective against the midge. The holes are too big.

'Some' of the garden gazebos however have genuine anti midgie netting and it can be worth while finding a cheap one and using that to make your own.
Fabric is available by the metre from Pennine outdoors and Point North.


There's an American company that sell all three grades of anti fly netting, and they'll make to measure for you too.

No idea what the Revenue would add on though

If vision isn't a desperate requirement, then you could just use nylon lining, under £2 a metre. It's the same stuff that's used in tent inners.
