[Rhodes22-list] Mosquito Netting

[Mary Lou Troy]

Art,
if it's windy enough to dislodge the mosquito netting from its 
lightweight hold-downs be they sandbags, chain, fishing weights or 
lightweight ties, it's windy enough to blow away the mosquitos. When 
we used ours before we had a pop-top enclosure we would lower the 
pop-top if it started to rain. That meant taking in the netting so it 
was important that you could do that quickly and easily.

Do you get condensation on the underside of your boomroom? We don't 
get much in the cabin but there's often a heavy dew on the underside 
of the bimini.
