[Rhodes22-list] source for insect netting

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Rob,
I once used chain in a mosquito companionway cover on our Com-Pac. It 
works well if the chain is heavy enough to resist the sail effect in 
a light breeze - the chain I used wasn't and the netting would blow 
over the edge of the hatch whenever the breeze kicked up. Of course, 
you also want to make sure the chain won't rust.

Last I looked (quite a while ago actually), mosquito netting was 
available from the Defender and Sailrite catalogs. It pays to look 
around. There are many different widths, meshes and prices when I 
looked. I seem to remember someone years ago finding a patio umbrella 
cover large enough to drape over the bimini and (I think) the raised pop-top.

Best,
Mary Lou
