Insect Netting for Hammock GROUP BUY

[MagiKelly]

After the success of the Hammock and Tarp Group Buys the only parts of the set up missing are the rings, tapes and the insect netting. The rings and tapes have really been covered elsewhere and there was no real saving to be had in a group buy. The netting however is quite expensive.

So to this end I contacted Scotmas who have recently taken over the company that made the Ecosystem. Unfortunately they do not still have the patterns or specs for the netting but they can make a netting set up to suit. I have sent them a hammock with the Eco System Insect Netting attached as well as a copy of the Eco System DVD to give them the info they required. They are confident that they can make a net to suit. It will be broadly similar to the Eco System but will be slightly longer (150mm) at my request. The minimum order will be 50 but obviousley more than that is fine.

At the moment this is all slightly provisional as it is going to take a few weeks to get the exact pattern and materials sorted out and therefore a prce.

The reason for this early announcement is that those who have recently bought hammocks may be going to rush out and get netting. This is to let them know that it might be worth waiting a couple of weeks. Since the midgie season is passed a few weeks delay should do no harm.

So if you are considering insect netting for a hammock then keep an eye on this thread as it is where I will anounce prices etc when I have them. Also remember this netting will also be able to be used with most other types of hammock as well, not just the Group Buy ones.

[andyn]

Nice one John, you can expect at least one order from me!

I take it that these will suit the group buy hammocks perfectly then?

If no one has ever said it before John, you are one hell of a team player! Thanks for the hard work and dedication you obviously put into these!

[JonnyP]

I would love some netting for mine........Would it be fine netting that would keep out the Highland Midge................Jon

[gregorach]

Good point Jon - mozzie netting is not the same as midge netting. Assuming it's midge netting, I'd be interested in one for my DD hammock.

[soa_uk]

I'll be in for 2 - dependent upon price!

[JohnC]

If it stops midges I'd be interested, dependant on price
JOhn C

[ilovemybed]

Yup, you can put me down for one!
I bet you're getting bored of hearing this, but :You_Rock_

:beerchug:

[MagiKelly]

...Would it be fine netting that would keep out the Highland Midge................Jon

I hope so. It will be at least as fine as the Eco System and that has worked fine for me.

[Doc]

Good work, John. You should have set up Magikelly Hammocks plc and sold complete outfits!

I would be interested too. I have seen cheap mosi nets for £10-£20 but they were white (so harder to see through) and of suspect quality. Would be interesrted to see what you come up with, and unless anyone is planning on a southern hemisphere trip, there is no rush.

[JFW]

I'd be interested as well.

What a guy.

Cheers

JFW

[morch]

I'd be interested in a couple too

[Graham_S]

might as well count me in for one

[Angus Og]

Go then out me down for one, possibly two depending on the price and if any of the other people I got hammocks for want any.

[MagiKelly]

I am happy for you all to post your interest and it is helpful to give an idea of numbers but I will only start to take confirmed orders once I have a price etc. So do not feel that you are committed at this stage, nor will you be excluded if you have not posted an interest.

[bikething]

I'd be up for 2

Cheers
Steve

[Wayland]

Oh go on then....Go on, go on, go on........ ;)

Have to be two I guess.

[wildrover]

I'd definately be interested in at least one .
Thanks

[nooky]

Im interested in one.
Thanks .
Andrew.

[Eric_Methven]

Yea, me too please.

Eric

[redcollective]

Yup one here too.

[jamesoconnor]

hi there,
i'd probably be in for 2. this could help persuade the wife that sleeping out is comfortable and that she won't be bitten by anything. :D

[2blackcat]

Well, as I managed to miss the tarp buy (muppet), I'd best register my intrest for this before I lose out on that as well

[Buckshot]

I'll register an interest in 3 please

Cheers

Mark

[elma]

I'm interested ( depending on price)
:You_Rock_

[prp90]

i would be inrerested in 1 please (£££ permiting)
(new to this group buy business so if someone could poke me in the ribs as and when i need to do something it would be most helpful)

paul

[soa_uk]

FWIW, I make that 29/30 dependent on price, so far.
Over halfway.

[MagiKelly]

FWIW, I make that 29/30 dependent on price, so far.
Over halfway.

I have not bothered to count. Suffice to say I am confident that as long as it is a decent price I am sure that 50 will not be a problem. The only issue I am concerned about is to make sure that no one misses out. Of course I am also a little scared that this will revive interest in hammocks.

Anyway time will tell.

[Abbe Osram]

same like the rest of the gang I would be in for one but depending on the price off course. :)

Thanks for putting the neck out again Magic! :You_Rock_

cheers
Abbe

That would be two please when it comes about John ;) .

[Shankly]

I just can't seem to stop spending the wifes housekeeping on stuff.!!! I know I am a very weak man but what she doesn't know about can't hurt her (or me), so I would be up for 1 possibly 2 - depending on price of course.....
Cheers John !!!!

[Scally]

do you think i could use the net with the pod system?

[Oakleaf]

Hammocks? Wot Hammocks......

Just kidding ;)

I have two - very pleased in deed with them ( thank you again ). You are spot in regards early warning - I was starting to look about to get nets to fit.

I hope things come together ok - if so, please note me down for two

Regards

Andy

[MagiKelly]

do you think i could use the net with the pod system?

I would expect so. What length is your pod? If the ridge line lenth of it is less than about 3m you should be fine.

[HuBBa]

Im interested in one, possibly two depending on price.

[sparks]

hi john

put me down for one maybe two

thanks for finding new ways for me to spend my money:You_Rock_

[wanderinstar]

Id be interested in 2, How do they fit onto hammocks?
Ian.

[Scout]

i'd certinly be intrested in one, depending on price

[Big Geordie]

Please count me in for 2. Ideas for future group buys.. Have you considered fork handles? Or meat thermometers for european style burgers?
George :beerchug:

[MagiKelly]

Only need one of them but I don't think Tommy would use it :)

[Bumblebee]

I just knew that someone would snipe that on me :p

Nah, I don't need one either, I like raw food ;)

[Bumblebee]

But I do need some insect nets, count me in on this group buy.

[MagiKelly]

Just noticed we have a group buy section now. Probably got fed up with us clogging up the classifieds :)

:lmao: :lmao:

[wolf man]

Hi John

i'd be interested in two to go with the hammocks.

:beerchug:

[underground]

Hi John, one for me please, thanks for the offer once again!

[andyn]

Hiya John, have you heard anything back from Scotmas as to if they wil be able to do this or how much they will cost?

[MagiKelly]

Hiya John, have you heard anything back from Scotmas as to if they wil be able to do this or how much they will cost?

Not yet. I'll chase them up.

[monkey_pork]

Would this be a suitable size for a double bed too I wonder ?

Two if so, one and another summer of insect bites (err, for someone) if not. Probably.

[MagiKelly]

Don't think it would suit a double bed. It could be set to enclose a bivi but you would still have the problem of insect coming from the ground.

[stuart f]

Don't think it would suit a double bed. It could be set to enclose a bivi but you would still have the problem of insect coming from the ground.

Hi John. I like to kip on the ground and was wondering if this net would be suitable to be tied to a ridge line under a basha, and then simply tucked under your sleeping bag?.

[MagiKelly]

Hi John. I like to kip on the ground and was wondering if this net would be suitable to be tied to a ridge line under a basha, and then simply tucked under your sleeping bag?.

It should be ideal; for that.. My only concern would be insects from the ground inside the netting but there is no way round that.

[Abbe Osram]

It should be ideal; for that.. My only concern would be insects from the ground inside the netting but there is no way round that.


MagiKelly, when do you think the group buy hits the road and gets rolling?
I am not in a hurry as we have about 60 cm snow up here but I am afraid to miss the show.

cheers
Abbe

[MagiKelly]

i sent them an email earlier in the week chasing them up but have not heard anything yet. I will chase them up again.

[stuart f]

It should be ideal; for that.. My only concern would be insects from the ground inside the netting but there is no way round that.

Cheers John, i will also be interested in a purchase.

[MagiKelly]

Spoke to the supplier. I should be getting a price next week.

[MagiKelly]

Okay I have got a price, sort of. Still need to confirm delivery, VAT etc but we are looking at no more than £20 to your door including PayPal fees etc. More likely to be nearer £15 but I prefer to err on the side of caution.

The netting will be PB fabric which has 480 holes per square inch. This is apparently 3 times the international recommendation but that could just be a bit of sales bumph.

I have asked if I can have a sample one to see but this may not be practical. I have also asked some questions about colour and the like.

Once I hear more I will let you know but this is looking optimistic considering that the RM one costs £45 plus delivery.

[HuBBa]

Well, if its around that you can confirm me for one =) :You_Rock_

[Scoops]

i'll probably take 2, if you get a sample one will you post a phto of it

[soa_uk]

I'll be up for 2...

[MagiKelly]

i'll probably take 2, if you get a sample one will you post a phto of it

Sure will.

[Doc]

One for me, please, John.

They seem to be a higher spec than the mossie netting sold by point north, which only has 3 hundred and something holes per sq inch.

[JonnyP]

Hi John..........Just to confirm, one for me please. I have always wanted some net curtains for my hammock. I wish you and yours a very merry Christmas...............Jon

[JohnC]

SOunds an ok price, can I confirm one please.
Happy Christmas.
JOhnC

[Abbe Osram]

If the confirmation is going on then I want to put myself down again with one like I said before. One for Abbe please!

And thanks again Magic for putting down the masses of work for us!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Arctic circle! :You_Rock_

Cheers
Abbe

[Angus Og]

I’ll have one possibly more after I speak to the other people I got hammocks for.

Have a good Christmas and New Year.

The list is only people who have confirmed since I got an indication of the price. To be honest I was not even going to start the official list untill I had a sample or picture or confirmation etc but there was too many people putting their name down for me to ignore :rolleyes:

[match]

Seeing as I now have Christmas money to spend I'll put down a provisional request for 1, but unlike the rest of this eager lot I'll wait for a final price and spec before saying for definite :)

More news from the manufacturer. I am being sent a sample and will post a picture and my comments when it arrives.

The original prices I got did not include VAT also the choice of colours is white or green and green puts the cost up by about £0.50 per net but I have still gone for this option. However, given that I was allowing for a fair margin of error we should still be looking at a price to you of between £15 to £20 and hopefully nearer the £15 than the £20.

From placing the order it should take four weeks so we are looking at about late February to actually receiving your nets.

[fiacha]

can you put me down for 1 please John.

Thanks.

[andyn]

John, that all sounds really good.

You have done yet another sterling job on this group buy....Wheres that medal emoticon :)

[Wayland]

John, let us know when you want to start getting money in.

If you ask the mods nicely they can change the title of the thread to save starting a new one. (Quite useful for getting some new action)

I can keep taking names for a while yet. At least until I have the sample as that will be when I place the order. When I place the order I will probably order quite a few extra ones as I imagine that there will be quite a few asked for after the order is placed (that will be from my hammock experience :rolleyes: )

Money wise I will not be taking money until I actually have the netting in my house.

[Doc]

Do you know the approximate weight of the whole net, John?

[Wayland]

Oh go on then....Go on, go on, go on........ ;)

Have to be two I guess.

Hi John.

I don't seem to be on your list for some reason.

[MagiKelly]

Hi John.

I don't seem to be on your list for some reason.

That is because I was only putting names on the list that had said they were interested after I quoted a price. Added you on now though.

Doc, I have no idea. I presume much the same as the Eco System netting but mine is still with the manufacturer so I cannot say what that is.

Starting to wonder if I should do a last hammock group buy to sync with the netting one to give people the chance of a complete package. I am working on the principal that spares would get requested eventually and that some may go on Song of the Paddle. Must check the new prices :rolleyes:

[stevo]

I'll definately go for a net if you can run another hammock group buy to go with it. Sounds like it's a bit of a hassle but your hard work is very much appreciated.
Keep up the good work, you're a star!

Just a note to say that there is now a Fourth Hammock Group Buy going on here

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=10456

In case you are interested in netting but do not have a hammock for it. The hammock group buy will be going ahead. In fact I will be sending the money on Monday and the hammocks will be here within about 2 weeks.

Trust me I will post pictures and a description as soon as I have it.

Might I suggest that you start a new thread when you do? I keep on trawling through 15 pages of discussion, worried that I've missed that post already somewhere in the thread :11doh: ! (the man's saying D'oh, by the way, if you haven't got your specs on!)


Cheers,

I probably will but the mods do not usually like you haveing more than one thread about the same thing. I don't think it will be a problem though.

tagnut69, as posted I am waiting for the sample, once that arrives I will post pictures and details. I will then officially place the order and confirm the exact price. From the point the order is placed the turnaround could be up to 6 weeks but no one will have to pay any money untill I actually have the nets in my grubby little hands. I know this buy is taking some time but we are not getting a stock product off the shelf. We are having these nets made for us.

[Cyclingrelf]

1 for me too, please MagiKelly.

Thanks!

[tagnut69]

Excelent

Cheers mate

[Topcat02]

Thanks for the update MagiKelly, when does the midgey/biting insect season start?

[andyn]

Don't know about up there, but i tend to start finding bites around about May time if i'm walking in long grasses

[Angus Og]

Thanks for the update MagiKelly, when does the midgey/biting insect season start?

It’s been getting earlier and earlier that I have found, anytime before the middle of May you should be ok.

But that my experience from Glencoe/Kinlochleven area.

[JonnyP]

Thanks for the update MagiKelly, when does the midgey/biting insect season start?
Give or take, usually april to september is the midgy season. When they do appear its no holds barred, they want your blood and will be persistant. I was once attacked while pointing up a patio, I could not move away and boy did I suffer, though I was pretty much immune to it the rest of the season. Its the females that bite you and the males who do all the dancing in those big clouds of them. I once read a very interesting book about them..................Jon

[Scally]

if this group buy is still open then can you put me down for one thanksbin advance.

[filcon]

Add me to list pal, midgies are just John Denver reincarnated.cheers Fil

Any news

[MagiKelly]

http://climbatizeut.users.btopenworld .com/f-smilies/f-bump.gif
Any news

The guy I have been dealing with is abroad at the moment but he managed to get a message to me telling me that the sample is on the way. When it eventually arrives I only hope that the order will follow somewhat quicker , when placed.

I certainly will not be taking any money until I have the nets in my grubby little hands.

[Colin McGlade]

Thanks for the update and your hard work on this.

[HuBBa]

Yepp! Great for the update. It's closing in on the mossy season fast! (looks outside the window at the meter of snow and -15C temperature... )

.. er.. fast.. im sure.. er.. i hope.. darn..

:lmao:

[bow drill]

like one myself if not to late

all the best
chris :lmao: :lmao:

[MagiKelly]

Still waiting to hear. Might be looking at next years midgie season.:rolleyes:

[MagiKelly]

I HAVE THE SAMPLE !

Mixture of news here. I sent a real snotty email tot eh supplier today and of course got home to find the sample netting on my doorstep :rolleyes: . I also have an email reply from the supplier. He assures me that any order will not be turned around in 4 weeks.
They have not yet returned my original netting so i cannot compare like for like but here are my initial impressions.

The netting is very well made and every bit the equal of the Ecosystem one. If anything I think the netting material is better and has a better flow to it. Also the black material is fine so I would be inclined to go for this rather than the green as I have not seen the green material. The ridge line is also a loot better. Now for the catch. The sample is way too short. It is about 1.6m long where as it should be about 2.7m long (If someone can measure their ecosystem one I would appreciate it)

Despite this being the only problem and one that should be able to be sorted without the need for another sample I am reluctant to go ahead until I have an exact example of what I am ordering. Once I have this I will confirm I have the sample and post a new thread giving a review of it and referring people back here.

This netting will definitely be able to be used with a bivi bag set up as long as you have a ridge line to fit it too.

Excluding the size issue I am very pleased with the sample and believe this will be a superb group buy. A real saving. I will be ordering quite a few extra as I expect a lot of requests after the initial order is placed and I want to avoid having as many group buys as we have had with the hammocks. I have no concerns about ending up with a load of unwanted nets as experience has shown me that they will go eventually.

I will post pictures of the netting I have but it may be a couple of days before I get the chance.

I'll keep you up to date with developments.

Thanks for the update john

Ian :)

[HuBBa]

Awesome =) And don't worry about the turnaroundtime buddy :) By this rate they will arrive just in time for the hatching of the little winged "(&#/"#%&/"#

(oh.. and on another note, imagine now a bad scenario ... birdflu taking out a large part of the small bird population... imagine what that will do with the mosquito and insect populations. Time to sew this into a permanent suit :)

[sparks]

thanks john

looking forward to seeing the pics of the net
thanks again for all you hard work

Thanks Iain, exactly what I needed. Can you also give me the size from the ridge line to the edge of the netting and the width of the nylon skirt?

I have a reply from the supplier. They knew the sample was too small. There was meant to be a not to that effect. The reason it is smaller is due to the size of the sample material that they had in stock.

On this basis I have confirmed that I will be gyving them a size diagram and placing the order on the basis of the sizes in my diagram and the style and quality of the sample. My intention is to make it 0.2m longer overall than the ecosystem one as longer is less of a problem than shorter and I may ask for the netting to be an extra 0.1m longer from the ridge line just to give a bit extra cover.

Over the weekend I will post the pictures on a thread an probably place the order for nets early next week.

[Angus Og]

Ridge line =2.70m
Base = 2.74m
Middle bit 2.40m

Thanks again Iain, sorry to be a pain but I am okay with the length now I was looking for the height of the netting. i.e. when the netting is set up and suspended from the ridge line., the height from the ridge line down to where the netting meets the nylon skirt. The the width of the nylon skirt. From memory I would assume the height of the netting will be about.1.1m and the nylon skirt about 0..3 m. Does that make it clear ?

[Angus Og]

Netting .90m nylon skirt takes it to 1.10m

No picture this time going to the pub. :D

looking goooooooood

[MagiKelly]

Okay I am going to do a separate thread announcing that the sample is here. I have not taken any pictures yet but to be honest they will not look like much. I cannot set it up with the hammock as it is too short.

Below is the diagram I am sending to the supplier. The length will be 0.2m longer than the ecosystem netting and 0.1m deeper. This should give a bit more room especially when used with a bivi on the ground.

http://www.magikelly.co.uk/netting.jpg

Current list is below. I suspect I will be ordering 200. I suspect that once these arrive it will be like the hammocks and more orders will come pouring out the woodwork.

Also I appreciate all the posts of support but can we try to keep all posts to relevant questions, new names for the list or people wanting removed.

Makes it easier for me to keep track. Once you have your netting you can post telling me if you think it is pants or now.

[Colin McGlade]

John thanks for the hard work.
Please put me bown for 1

[Porcupine]

Add me to the list for 1 please.

Not having a full size sample yet weight and folded size are not known i guess?


Porc.

[Angus Og]

John remember and tell them about the pocket for stuffing the netting in.

[MagiKelly]

John remember and tell them about the pocket for stuffing the netting in.

I had not highlighted this and the sample did not have it. To be honest it is not something I would be that bothered about adding. The only time my netting is in its pocket was when I got it. Most of the time I leave it fitted to my hammock and pack them both away together. I think a small stuff sack would be more useful for it. If it had a bag attached the same way the group buy hammocks I would prefer it but the one on the ecosystem I find not very useful.

Pack size I would suspect will be about the size of the group buy hammocks but lighter. I would guess the weigh to be about 400g, but if there are midgies around I bet you would carry ten times that weight to keep them out if you had too.:D

[MagiKelly]

Had an email from their Director today so I have now placed the order for 200. They have sent the sketch to the factory and the current estimation is that I should have these in 4 weeks.

[JFW]

Magikelly,

that is great news, just thought I'd post to let you know that I'm still in for this.

Cheers

Good. I am working on the principal that everyone is still in unless they post otherwise we will have over a 100 posts confirming names.

[Squidders]

Am I doing my usual and missing the obvious, clearly posted price that everyone but me saw? :rolleyes:

[beachlover]

Would you add me to the list of "definites?"
Thanks.

[MagiKelly]

Still in the £15 - £20 cost to your door including PayPal. I have prices but the delivery to me from Kelso has still to be added plus I am not certain of the weight for posting out yet.

The manufacturer now has the netting in. It will be more green than black now due to a bit of confusion with the place dying it but I said that is fine as long as it is not white. So the nets should be getting made shortly, hopefully this week. So the end is in sight.

[Wayland]

yippee.....:red:

[HuBBa]

Wuut! :You_Rock_

Just let us know when the £££ should be flying :P

Mossy net will be a godsend i suspect this summer. Besides the happy birdflu that is starting to take out the birds in Sweden, they have now also begun nesting... and nesting when it's -20 to -30 outside is not a good idea if you want the little chicks to live.

And if there are less small birds to eat the mosquitos..... ...... .....

.... I will love to have a mosquito net this summer ;)

[swyn]

Hello MagiKelly sorry for being so late but can you put me down for 1 please thanks from Swyn.

[beamdune]

ditto me (on the lateness)

1 please, if there are any left, thanks
