The mesh attaches to the brolly via an elastic loop around the bell cap and is then pegged down at the end of each side rib. It can also be pegged down at the front or simply left to drape – the usual method on still, humid summer nights.

The mesh is ultra-fine to prevent any insects from getting through while still allowing air flow. The central two-way zip can be opened from the top or bottom, a major benefit when a quick exit is required in the event of a take.

The meshes are supplied in a net compression bag and both weigh in at under 1kg.
