Are thread counts small enough to prevent mosquitoes and bugs if used to enclosed a patio?

the only way small baby mosquitos would get past this is if you did a shoddy job at enclosing your space. definitely need to overlap and sew the overlaps together.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is No matter what, you're going to have to open something to get in to it, and the potential for bugs to get in will exist. That being said, I have visible swarms of Mosquitos at my house, and they do not get inside from our quick zips in and out. Our 75lb dog likes to "let" herself out as well by crawling under the zipper, which invariably opens it up a bit, and even then I've never noticed an increased bug count. This thing is great, can't reccomend it highly enough!

We have a decent sized deck, one end has a gazebo with table and chairs. I put it on the railing at that end and it keeps the mosquitos away. We can sit out there comfortably for hours! I guess you could hang it but that might be a pain to change and clean it. You could safely sit it on a table.

The manufacturer recommendation is to have the bug zapper about 20 feet from where the people are sitting. So yes you can use it on your patio if it is big enough.

I have always used a ThermaRest pad, which you will need for warmth, so no mosquito bites.

We used a scrap piece of outdoor carpet under the screen house and nailed furring strips around the base fabric and never noticed any small bugs. But we put the screen house on the porch which was 8 feet off the ground so the small bugs were not a problem to start with.

It is not airtight, but I believe it will keep out bugs. At least no bugs have gotten in mine

They work well for preventative maintenance. If you are already infested use neem oil, or mighty wash. Half the bugs arrived dead, but I still had enough.

Yes, the Ali Gazebo has holes that you can use to secure it, and it came with mosquito netting.

I don't know exactly about mosquito net, but I have a screened porch I have used it on and it seems to keep bugs and insects out. Hope this might help. I've been happy with the screen.

I had it on my patio, and never had bugs at all. It worked out really well, and lasted a long time.

I love it too! I plan on adding mosquito netting as well as interchangeable canvas curtains by putting strips of Velcro along the inside top of the gazebo and sewing the partner strip to the fabrics.

I sprayed the screen with Off or some other bug repellent and it did an adequate job of keeping out no-see-ums. Think most of the bugs came up from the ground, so as the other respondent indicated, it's important to have the tent well staked and the bottom perimeter kept down (I used boards). I used the tent primarily as a painting shed to keep bugs out of my freshly painted projects and it did a great job.

Because moving air has been proven the best way to keep Mosquitos away the answer is yes, to a point.You have to be in the area that is covered by the fans moving air. Chancy at the edges.

I don't know ......the mesh netting is small holes, but I have no idea how small of a hole a mosquitoe can fit through.........never thought of it really

I've seen less flies and mosquitos while setting on my patio, but they don't get rid of all of them. And yes we have had a lot of rain in florida the last 2 weeks and they seem to being working. they are still glowing purple at night when the sun sets. Hope this helps

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.
