We are in a heavy mosquito area...Is the netting keeping mosquitoes out? It looks like there is a large gap above the curtain rings in the pictures.

The outside of the canopy overlaps the netting at the top. It worked well for me last year.

our cottage is by the water and near a forest and there are mosquitos. It has been real good at keeping the little suckers out. Be aware that when you receive it check for the plastic shower curtain rings that hold the mosquito net in place; they forgot ours and it was scramble to find replacements

Hi Jack, We've had great luck with these. Not only does it keep away the mosquitoes but it also keeps away the 'smaller and harder to see' bugs.

We just returned from another camping trip with the "Clam". As previous comments that were made, as long as you close the zippered door behind you each time, the bugs should be minimal. There is a flap at the bottom of each panel, including the door, that helps to keep bugs out as well. We are thrilled with the ease of set up! Also, we ordered the wind/privacy panels...they work very well. The mesh screening seems very sturdy and is fine enough to keep bugs out.

No - it is a heavy-duty mesh. Long lasting that keeps out big bugs, but not the no see ums.

No, I would say not. The holes, the natural sheer, is pretty large. I wouldn't use it as a bug net.

My advice would be to take off the top and let it dry out for a little bit. Too much moisture breeds mosquitos.

I do not know--it is too fine to count--however I can tell you that nothing, nothing gets through! Material is also strong--used for months by my two boys, one of whom has an insect allergy--very, very nice. It is less a "netting" than a super fine, heavy duty veil. No mosquitos, blackflies, gnats/mingies, fleas...nothing gets through....We like these very much. Even the zipper end is super flush.

I think its for water drainage or just extra ventilation. I have been in the tent at night on the deck and havent had any issues with bugs.

Mine came with mosquito netting when it arrived. There are holes in the base for stakes or screws. As others have said, the instructions are a bit sparse but we managed ok with a little 'pondering' on each step of the assembly.

Where I live we normally don't have many mosquitoes, but this year for some reason we have quite a few. None get thru the screen. By the way, just yesterday I was looking at the screen on the porch and thinking to myself it's one of the best investments I've ever made. It's now over a year old and still looks as if I put it up yesterday. It looks bran new. Not a mark or ding anywhere.

Actually that is a good question. I just opened the door on the left hand side and placed it in there. It seemed to still get plenty of air flow so it should still attract Mosquitos.

sorry no netting, but we found that the netting only served as a bug catcher anyway so we did not mind. Hope this helped you.

I installed one of these units today. The "amazing new curtain feature" leaves 3-6mm gaps between the top and bottom edges of the curtain and the rails. That's MORE than enough for stink bugs to walk right into your house. Sure enough, within hours I had a room full of stinkbugs. I think a read somewhere that the inventor is from Maryland. That's a dude who oughta know better!

There are several grommets around the net. I attached a bungee to the under side of the front seat back to a grommet to keep it tight.

The screen is a nice one but since I don't have anything planted in the planter, water collects there. I will probably drill holes in the planter so water doesn't collect there but I would imagine mosquitoes will prosper there if I don't do something about it.

There is a fine mesh ventilation screen at the top of the dome that keeps the bugs out. They try to get in but they can't.

I use my net to cover my blackberry bushes, it has small holes but I don't know if it would keep mosquitoes out.
