Midge-proof netting

Post by markxt » Wed May 15, 2024 11:18 am

Does anyone know if the netting on a Bongo tent is midge-proof? We are planning a Scotland (west) trip soon and I am wondering whether the canvas can be safely opened up in hot weather (wishful thinking). Perhaps a DIY midge-netting tent could be made to drop over the top allowing the tent to be opened up as much as possible? I'll be making a net cover for the door. Any other advice on this subject greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Didn't seem to have problems provided there are no tears in the netting, it gets very brittle with age on the older vans.
